More and more behavioral healthcare professionals and paraprofessionals are being asked to leave the relative comfort of their regular workplace and work in disaster scenarios.
This timely publication, Emotional First Aid, is a crisis intervention field guide for behavioral health first responders and second responders. First and second responders from novices to those with years of experience will find information to help them respond to emergencies more effectively. Just because you may be ready and willing to go does not mean, in and of itself, that you are prepared to go. In this book you will find many of those preparation and response concerns addressed. Direction is given and many forms and guidelines are provided to help make your experience in this relatively new venue a rewarding one. Being unprepared will distract from your mission, from your satisfaction, and steer you away from responding in the future.
