Wilted plants following strong winds

Is there anything that can be done for plants that seem to be wilting following strong winds - specifically a very young raspberry and a very young honeysuckle?
Thanks!

    I have no experience with both plants, but believe that they will eventually recover.  Sounds like a combination of young fresh growth and winds, normally resulting in curling and wilting. Stick with the watering regime and if the leaves don't recover, just prune them off. Others might have a different approach, but that is what I would do.

    Stake them, water them, possibly cut the tops off to reduce wind resistance.

    Thank you josusa47 - will do all of the above and see how they get on.

    Thank you borderline, I was hoping they would bring themselves back. Time will tell!
