Social workers work with people with long histories of abuse and violence. Even when not serving the most vulnerable, we may be working with people who have experienced a traumatic event.

Excellent meeting tonight! Thanks to our amazing panel of presenters on medical social work from St. Mary Medical Center we truly are grateful for the much needed resources and relevant information for our mental health community! Too bad some of you guys missed this event but please contact unit chair kim or unit chair karen if you are interested in learning more about the exciting new mental health resources facilities and support groups coming into our High Desert this year ahead!

FYI

As Hurricane Irma approaches Floridians brace for the worst. Here is a list of evacuation shelters open in Hillsborough County.

HURRICANE HARVEY ALERT: The Office of the Texas Governor has waived rules to allow health care professionals from other states, including social workers, to come to Texas to help people affected by Hurricane Harvey. Please read this message from the NASW Texas Chapter to learn more: http://bit.ly/2gmEsQ7

Please Read and forward! The American Red Cross has initiated a direct deployment for Hurricane Harvey. This program is for those who are not currently a Red Cross volunteer. I have attached a document with two versions regarding the Direct Deployment program that you can use to share this information far and wide and get the word out.

These Event Based Volunteers (EBVs) will be 'screened' and followed by a mental health volunteer to guide and support them thru the process. The process has been streamlined and formalized since it was developed last year. To check it out yourself click on the link: http://www.redcross.org/ take-a-class/lp/hurricane- harvey-health-professionals They must deploy for 9 days which includes 1 day on each end for travel, plus take a few classes online and other paperwork. Also, FYI, they do not go through the local Red Cross offices.

Please post this on your respective websites, Facebook, LinkedIn, emails, listservs etc. It is anticipated that this will be a long haul with a great need for mental health.

Current volunteers are encouraged to note their availability in Volunteer Connection.or contact their local Staffing person.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact [email protected]

Thanks all for helping meet the needs of those impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
