Rule and Associates

12/16/2025

In times of disaster, emotional stress can show up in many ways:
• Trouble sleeping
• Heightened anxiety
• Irritability or shutdown
• Kids acting “off” or regressing

These are normal responses to abnormal events.

If you need support — now or in the weeks ahead — our clinicians are here to help. Our offices are open and you can come in and have a hot cup of coffee and dry off, and warm up whether you have an appointment or not.

We can do phone appointments or in person- your choice.
You don’t have to carry this alone.

Rule and Associates is holding a blanket drive. Flood survivors need brand new clean, cozy blankets. Many were lost in the flood in desperate attempts to sop up water and it’s been a big request. We all know a cozy blanket brings much comfort in times like these. If you’d like to drop a brand new blanket off at our offices, we will be sure they are distributed to people who want them. Thank you for your generosity in this great time of need in our community.

Our office on Everson is completely dry and we are so grateful.
All appointments are on as usual and if you need a hot cup of coffee and a dry place to sit down you are welcome to come in and rest

All EVERSON office visits will be moved to telehealth today due to flooding. All Bellingham visits will continue as scheduled. If we don’t see you in person, we will call the number on file and convert it to telehealth. All of our therapists are available to serve you. Stay safe ❤️

Dan is the man. No, seriously. On his way out to do a therapy session he stopped by and spent a bunch of time in the rain with me filling sandbags for the community. Thank you Dan! Stay safe everyone!

I am exhausted to my core after a long few weeks and a very long day in the wet rain working on sandbags. I HAVE THE BEST STAFF EVER! Look at this delicious treat I walked into from on of our amazing therapists and his spouse. And another miracle maker in this building took over our end of the year project so I could work outside. Oh, and even showed up to fill sandbags. I am so full of gratitude for this life I’ve been given because of the people in it. Thank you for making Rule and Associates a safe place for all of us. Even me 💕

Some of our staff is out filling sandbags, but if you just need a warm, dry place to be and a hot cup of coffee- come on over. You are welcome. 210 W Main St. Everson.

Appointments are still happening as scheduled

When you’ve lived through flooding in our region, big storms don’t just bring rain. They bring back memories. A lot of people are feeling jumpy, stressed, or on edge right now, and that’s a normal response after everything our community has gone through.

PTSD can look like checking the river levels over and over, trouble sleeping, or feeling that worry in your gut when the rain doesn’t stop. It doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It means you’ve lived through hard things, and your body remembers.

If you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone. Reach out to a neighbor. Talk to someone you trust. Check in on folks who might be struggling—especially elders, single parents, and families who’ve been hit hard before. And of course, we are just a phone call away.

We’ve gotten through floods by taking care of each other, and we’ll keep doing that. One day, one storm, one neighbor at a time. 💛🌧️

As a reminder, our offices will be closed for Thanksgiving Day so that our beloved team can rest and recoup with their friends and families. We are so thankful for all of you and look forward to seeing you again for normal hours on Friday.

It’s so fun to see how this community pantry is taking shape. Lots of new contributions today! If you could use a Thanksgiving boost, swing by and grab what you need! If you are feeling thankful and can share this season, drop some things off ❤️
