3) Psychological first aid after a disaster
Psychological first aid is sometimes overlooked as a key component of disaster recovery, but it is extremely important both immediately afterwards and in the long-term. The need exists following wildfires and hurricanes, superstorms and flooding. But what does that kind of first aid look like? What things should people be thinking about?
Come hear from Margaret Puckette of the Hayden Island Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET) and Bob Burkholder, from the Sellwoood/Moreland NET as they present a talk about psychological first aid on Saturday, March 9 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at PCC-Cascade (Terrell Hall – Room 122). Puckette is a mental health counselor with experience in trauma-informed care and PTSD. Burkholder is a retired Paramedic with 30 years’ experience and is the chair of the Emergency Preparedness Committee for the Sellwood/Moreland Neighborhood Association. This event is open to all and free.
