The SAMHSA Disaster Technical Assistance Center (DTAC) is pleased to present the Introduction to Disaster Behavioral Health webinar.
The goals of this webinar are to educate participants about the mental health, substance abuse, and stress management needs of people who have been exposed to human-caused, natural, or technological disasters. This 60-minute webinar will help build awareness about preparedness and response efforts in this area by providing:
* An overview of core disaster behavioral health concepts
* Guidance on basic actions that disaster response personnel can incorporate in their interactions with disaster survivors without the need for extensive training
* Guidance on recognizing severe reactions to disasters and need for a referral for a behavioral health assessment.
Featured speakers include Anthony Barone of ICF International; Curt Drennen of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Emergency Preparedness and Response Division; and April Naturale of the Mental Health Association of New York City.
SAMHSA DTAC encourages non-mental health professionals who are involved in emergency management/disaster response and interested in learning more about mental health and substance abuse issues to participate in this webinar.
After you complete your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with all of the information and instructions needed to access the webinar on July 14, 2011, at 2 p.m. eastern time.
