This article describes a program for walk-in counseling services (WICS) used after Hurricane Katrina. The program was designed to meet the mental health needs of storm survivors. The psychological changes of survivors were assessed at baseline and 6 months later. We found a significant reduction in depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms among participants who received WICS. The WICS model might be a feasible cost-effective intervention for individuals without the time or resources to commit to long-term therapy.
