I have a passion for disaster mental health, and am a disaster mental health manager with the American Red Cross. I have been on several national deployments following disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes. I also respond to local disasters like fires, landslides, and weather-related emergencies when we open a shelter. I teach courses and provide trainings for the American Red Cross.
In this interview, I talk with GoodTherapy.org about the work of all the fabulous disaster mental health volunteers out there.
I have led disaster simulation trainings through the North Carolina Psychological Association.
