British Red Cross Draws on CounsellingResource.com Mental Health Professionals

For several weeks now, we have been coordinating an international effort (“International Effort to Offer Volunteer Counselling or Therapy Support to Those Affected by Tsunami”) to collect details of mental health professionals willing to volunteer counselling, therapy, and other mental health support services to those directly affected by the natural disaster, those who have lost loved ones as a result of the tsunami, and aid workers in agencies operating in the area.

While many aid organizations have been slow to respond (“Aid Organizations Seen Slow to Deliver Mental Health Support Services”) to offers of professional assistance in the wake of those same organizations’ own public pleas for support, the British Red Cross is now officially launching the Tsunami Support Network to provide a communication platform for individuals affected by the tsunami. Over the coming months they plan to develop the network through the website, newsletters, ongoing telephone support and the establishment of self-help support groups. The CounsellingResource.com tsunami support database of mental health professionals will form one part of that network.

At last!
