Behavioral Health professionals are uniquely qualified with a wonderful set of skills, training, and personal characteristics that position them to effectively respond to human need during a mass disaster…..unless they rush in to “do clinical things.” This presentation will outline how critical incident response organizations and professionals can integrate the core activities of Psychological First Aid into a phase-sensitive, multi-component approach. A matrix of service offerings will be discussed throughout Preparedness, Response, and Recovery phases along with more specific identification of sub-phases. Means of leveraging technology to cost-effectively offer high-utilization options will be proposed.

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Increase understanding of a phase-sensitive, multi-component approach to response.

  • Learn to integrate the core activities of Psychological First Aid into phasic response.

  • Identify strategies to leverage technology so as to reach more impacted individuals throughout response processes.

  • Learn to utilize clinical skills with PFA.

 

Audience members will have opportunities to interact with the presenter and one another in open dialogue discussions during the presentation.
