Dr. Beebe Quotations

People were stressed and had nobody to talk to. Most people weren't happy to be there, but some were content, like two ladies I met that made the shelter their home. They had everything (they needed there) and were enjoying their stay.

Those that were directly exposed to the disasters had a threat to their lives, and faced extreme losses, which led to an extremely disruptive environment as a result.

The shelter was an abandoned Wal-mart. Another shelter I worked in (halfway through her stay) was a former textile factory.

A score of over 300 is a very high score. I took the test myself, based on what people were going through, and had a score of over 500.

You've got to try and normalize your life. I just walked around every morning, the same as I do here (in Connecticut).

I told one couple that here I'm free. Many came from inner city New Orleans. Many had a better life here (in the shelter).

Cheryl was my friend. She kept looking for me (whenever she didn't see me).
