CERT: Disaster Mental Health

During major disasters, we are likely to encounter things that are unpleasant and uncomfortable. Disaster Mental Health is designed to help survivors, civilian responders, and other “helpers” learn to effectively cope with the extreme stresses they will face in the aftermath of a disaster. This class includes practical information about recognizing and responding to common types of stress reactions in adults and children, personal preparedness strategies, and accounts about what it is like to go to a community following a major disaster.

Interested participants may take this course as a stand-alone training or continue to register for all CERT courses.

Registration is required. There are no fees associated with attendance. Materials, including a copy of the PowerPoint deck, will be provided via email after the session.
