Essential Skills for Disaster Mental Health and Crisis Response w/ Tab Ballis, LCSW, LCAS, CCS
November 8, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
FreeWhether you’re on the frontlines of a disaster or supporting individuals through its aftermath, this training highlights how disaster response is both doable and rewarding. Serving as an entry point, it seeks to makes disaster response work more accessible, helping participants apply existing skills and assess needs across different phases of a crisis. The training covers psychological first aid–serving as a roving triage to address the needs of those affected. It also emphasizes resilience and strengths-based strategies to support individuals with overlapping vulnerabilities and visible distress. By training mental health professionals, we strengthen the resilience of our communities during crises and disasters. We hope you can join either in person, via Zoom, or stay tuned for a recorded version.
