Disaster Behavioral Health Volunteer Policies

[Esther Stonecypher]

Good Morning, 

I was wondering if any of you have sample Disaster Behavorial Health policies you use for your programs, specifically to help your volunteers understand expectations around responding to folks in crisis or when to request additional support from a clinician or mental health professional? 

Thank you!

Good morning

We have a department wide one we use for response.  Then for our response team, we have specific forms they submit to show they understand the commitment along with a letter for referral.  We also have Just In time training that is used to help them understand what is expected.

 

Thanks

Beckie
