Disaster Mental Health Volunteer 

The American Red Cross is looking for licensed mental health professionals to volunteer in Emergency Services mostly in Lancaster County. Mental health professionals will help in providing services to individuals, families and relief workers focused on basic care, support and comfort to those experiencing disaster-related stresses. Mental health services focus on helping adults and children cope with the emotional and environmental impact of a disaster while recognizing the individual’s developmental stage.

There are many different ways to get involved such as working from home making phone calls and providing support, working with community members and doing outreach, and being deployed to national disaster assignments. Read more on disaster mental health.
