Description:
Disasters produce behavioral health patient surge, presenting with increased depressive, anxious, and somatic symptoms. This surge is often not able to be managed by behavioral health providers. With some training, the role of assisting with common responses can be managed by members within communities, trained to assist and also trained when to refer. This allows professional providers to attend to more severe issues, and reducing the impact of surge on services.
The Health Support Team training offers an opportunity for licensed clinicians to "unlearn" traditional therapeutic practices and step into a different role: that of a disaster responder. HST training offers evidence-based techniques for how to apply principles of clinical psychology effectively in a disaster response setting, working with and training laypeople in effective, simple and straightforward interventions to assist themselves, and the members of their communities. Common neurological responses to trauma in adults and kids, grief and loss, de-escalation and situation assessment are examples of some of the modules that are covered in the HST training. In addition, HST trainers teach simple interventions to help individuals manage some of the symptoms of acute stress common to disasters.
