Community Crisis and Disaster Response

Members of the Prevention and Community Response Team provide and coordinate crisis and disaster response services to create a safety net for the psychological well being of County residents and workers subsequent to trauma or disaster.  Team members are trained in the ICISF (International Critical Incident Stress Foundation) model to respond to individuals affected by these types of events.

This service is delivered through the Traumatic Events Response Network (TERN) and the Critical Incident Stress Management Team (CISM).
