Mass Disaster Support for Clinicians & Communities

Craig was honored to co-present two recent trainings in Group Psychological First Aid to therapists in communities struggling in the acute aftermath of mass weather events. In their roles as Co-Chairs of the American Group Psychotherapy Association’s (AGPA) Community Outreach Task Force, Dr. Haen and Suzanne Phillips presented a workshop for the Florida Group Psychotherapy Society in November following Hurricane Helene, and then presented a workshop to the Group Psychotherapy Association of Los Angeles in the immediate aftermath of the Los Angeles fires. Both workshops aimed at offering therapists tools for offering community-based support to those recovering from the impact of mass trauma.

The AGPA task force is available to support any community, large or small, that is recovering from mass trauma. We offer consultation, direct service, and care for the caregivers. Reach out at CraigHaen@gmail.com to inquire further.
