Dr. Rebecca Culver-Turner, associate professor and Wichita site program director of the Master of Science in Family Therapy (MSFT) program at Friends University said people have shared concerns about how they were still anxious after the storms and that this is a common experience after a crisis where the safety of those you love was at risk.

These webinars are provided through the sponsorship of the Friends University Master of Science in Family Therapy Program (MSFT). The MSFT program strives to help families discover a positive change amid personal and relationship struggles through therapeutic services. Studies show that therapy improves emotions and behaviors resulting from positive changes in the brain and body and about 75 percent of people who pursue therapy have experienced some benefit from it.
