   KCCRB Disaster Behavioral Health (DBH) Group

In the event of a large-scale public health emergency, the need for surge capacity of health and medical systems would be critical. Through the K HELPS system public health officials can register health professionals, apply emergency credentialing standards, and allow for the verification of the identity, credentials and qualifications of prospective volunteers. 

Applicants interested in applying to be a DBH volunteer must be a licensed/certified psychologists, counselors, social workers, or therapists to meet the credentialing standards of a disaster behavioral health volunteer. Disaster Behavioral Health Outreach Personnel will triage, assess, provide psychological first aid, and make referrals, consistent with the level of individual needs under direction of KCCRB Disaster Behavioral Health Coordinators or Strike team leaders.
