The American Red Cross relies on volunteers to the help prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies. Volunteers make up over 90 percent of the Disaster workforce and make it possible to respond to nearly 70,000 disasters every year, most of them home and apartment fires. Disaster volunteers also provide preparedness services and information before disaster strikes and assist those who have experienced a disaster with their recovery.
The American Red Cross provides FREE disaster training for all volunteers. Trainings are both online and in-person depending on the course. To find out more about these training opportunities please contact your local Red Cross office.
This course is the first in the Disaster Cycle Services course curriculum.

The course also reviews the role of community and government partners and describes opportunities for volunteers in Disaster Cycle Services.

In Module 2, participants will enhance the instructional techniques learned in the Basic Instructor Fundamentals course through a practice teaching session with other participants and will receive feedback and coaching provided by the instructor and their peers.
Example: The Smoke Alarm Installation Campaign is a nationwide effort. Working with local community partners and fire departments, Red Cross volunteer teams canvass at-risk neighborhoods and install life-saving smoke alarms.
Example: After a local flood, Red Cross volunteers open a shelter at a nearby school to provide their neighbors with a safe place to stay and resources to help them plan for their next steps.
Shelter Fundamentals is a basic level course that introduces the guidelines and procedures for setting up, running and closing a shelter during a disaster.

Shelter Fundamentals is available in two delivery formats, instructor-led and online. Both formats cover the same content.
Example: Everyday DMH volunteers throughout the U.S. provide emotional support and crisis intervention to disaster survivors impacted by all types of disaster; from single family fires to large national disasters.

The Total Control Beginner Riding ClinicSM is designed for the novice rider with no (or limited) street-riding experience. This course includes five hours of classroom and ten hours of on-cycle instruction. You will learn fundamental skills required to operate the motorcycle and progress to street riding skills and strategies. Though designed for new riders, even experienced riders that have never taken a motorcycle course will benefit from this course.
Our unique approach to cornering will teach you the right techniques to adjust your speed prior and during a turn; to position yourself on the bike and in the lane; to use proper vision to gather information and control anxiety; and to apply the proper steering inputs to make your motorcycle turn safely on any curve of the road.
Riding a motorcycle is very different from driving a car and things that you may not even think about when driving can be a big deal when you are on a motorcycle. Learn how to safely deal with those everyday special circumstances and situations.
While it's great to be able to ride in front of a skilled coach, it's equally important to be able to coach yourself when you detect a riding problem in the future. There are enough support materials in our package to help make sure you won't forget what you learned during your training.

This experiential training will familiarize participants with a broad spectrum of EMDR therapy applications sufficient for comfortable and efficient use with a wide range of patients and situations. Special attention will be given to the therapeutic needs of clients.
I learned a lot from the practicum portion of the training. My favorite part of the training was the practicum portion as I was able to utilize the skills I learned in the training and learned how to use the skills with my current patients that would benefit in EMDR treatment
I appreciate the Institute taking the time to adapt the training and the application of the therapy to fit the real-life struggles that we have currently as therapists. It was very realistic and helpful.
A clinical background is necessary for the effective application of EMDR therapy. Attendance at the workshop is limited to all levels of social workers and mental health professionals who have a masters degree or higher in the mental health field and are licensed or certified through a state or national board which authorizes independent practice.
