Crisis Response Team
Communities big and small experience tragedy and crisis every day. Our Crisis Response Team hopes to provide structure and guidance for how to create a supportive environment within a community after the event. This could be an immediate response, an anniversary, or another moment that may be challenging for those directly impacted.
