Immediate Disaster Response: Drought-Disaster Behavioral Health Information Series (DBHIS)
This Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) DBHIS installment focuses on the disaster behavioral health and economic impacts of drought. In particular it is designed for people going through the drought that has impacted large areas of the United States in 2012, as well as those assisting with the response to this drought.
The Dialogue Volume 8: Issue 4
In this issue of The Dialogue, we have asked current Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program (CCP) staff to share their experiences from recent disasters. Each brought a different perspective and highlighted how his or her team had adapted their CCP to meet the needs of a particular community. We appreciate their efforts to do so in the midst of disaster response and hope that you find their articles informative as well as inspiring.
