DEPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS

Green Cross members need to give careful consideration to their decision to deploy.  Deployment may not be for everyone in every emergency/disaster situation, despite an overwhelming desire to help. Trauma and disaster work requires more than desire and training.  An important part of caring for others is the ability to care for oneself.  Self-care is a significant element of trauma work.

Below are the basic requirements needed for deployments with the Green Cross Academy of Traumatology:

  • Be an active registered member (no lapse in membership fees).
  • Be a certified Compassion Fatigue Educator and Compassion Fatigue Practitioner
  • Need to have completed these courses: Grief & Loss and Psychological First Aid.
  • Willing to take some of the FEMA courses online needed by Green Cross.

Prior training from other organizations is welcome and will be reviewed.
