Online Disaster Mental Health Training
In response to the need for mental health training that focuses on disaster-related stress, SART has partnered with University of Florida family, youth, and community sciences (FYCS) faculty members Angie Lindsey (Florida EDEN Point of Contact) and Heidi Radunovich to provide free online training on Disaster Mental Health. This resource aims to provide SART team members and partners, first responders, Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (FDACS) employees, University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Extension faculty and staff, and other community members active in disasters with the skills needed to address mental health needs and issues following disasters.
The course is divided into four parts, Disaster Stress & Mental Health, Community Recovery After Disasters, Coping & Providing Support After Disasters, and Disaster Stress & Mental Health Resources. It is self-paced, takes approximately 2.5 hours to complete over the course of a 7 day period, and when you successfully complete all four modules you will be provided with a certificate of completion.
