title: Flood of support.
abstract: A year on from the torrential floods that struck Cumbria, many people are still unable to return to their homes. A team of therapists is helping people to cope with the stress and frustration. The January 2005 floods came four years after foot and mouth disease hit Cumbria. The region depends on agriculture, hill walking and tourism for revenue. Therapists offer residents a choice of eight, different complementary therapies. Users of the service say the therapies reduce stress and help them relax.
