What is disaster mental health?
Disaster mental health is a departure from traditional behavioral health practice. Outreach and crisis counseling activities are considered the core of disaster behavioral health activities, with mental health professionals working hand-in-hand with paraprofessionals, volunteers, community leaders and survivors in ways that may differ from their formal clinical training. Like the larger rubric of mental health services research, disaster mental health research address clinical and service systems research.
