The Caring Side of Mass Care: Exploring the Range of Services in Disaster Relief

SEE EVENT DETAILS
So often we think of Mass Care in terms of shelters and mass feeding operations. Though these services are important in short term disaster relief, many “smaller” or more niche aspects of mass care are just as important and in fact they are essential towards building a long-term recovery plan for communities here in San Francisco and the surrounding region. Examples might be:
-          Emotional and Spiritual Care (non-licensed mental health services)
-          Immigrant Community Outreach/multi-lingual capabilities
-          Youth Services, especially for challenged youth groups
-          Victim Services
-          Women’s Services
You have been invited to participate in this important workshop because you and your agency has services necessary in serving people after disasters of nature and human making. This program has been designed by the San Francisco VOAD to help you identify the unique and important resources you have as an organization, and to build collaboration amongst attending agencies that will have a role in helping communities after a disaster.
Sign up today. These few hours will be time well spent getting you plugged in to our City’s disaster response network.
