Licensed Mental Health Professionals Needed at the American Red Cross Tri Cities

The American Red Cross is seeking mental health professionals to assist with local disaster response, helping families after home fires. Disaster Mental Health Services members provide care to disaster victims by meeting their mental health-related needs, reaching out to survivors in need of emotional support. This is done by responding on-scene to local home fires to support clients, and/or perform follow up support after an event. Members would provide psychological first aid, referrals, and other mental health interventions as appropriate.

Active licensure is required: psychologist, professional counselor, marriage and family therapist, or psychiatrist (any level license/registration, including non-clinical licenses such as Licensed Masters Social Worker or LMSW). Additionally, graduate students are eligible when enrolled in a graduate program leading to a master’s or doctoral degree in a Disaster Mental Health field.

This is a flexible volunteer opportunity, to fit with any schedule and availability. There is no time commitment requirement.
