National Hispanic and Latino ATTC's Role in Supporting Puerto Rico's First Responders
|
NAADAC applauds our colleagues at the National Hispanic and Latino ATTC in leading an effort in Puerto Rico to train first responders in Psychological First Aid for First Responders.
Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands on September 20 and residents who remain on the island are struggling to overcome the enormous physical and emotional distress of the storm. Recovery efforts are underway, but officials estimate that it will take months to bring things back to normal.
There's a lot of work to do, and the National Hispanic and Latino ATTC is offering immediate assistance, including sending clinical psychologists to all regions of the island to train first responders and SAMHSA grantees in Puerto Rico on Psychological First Aid for First Responders.

Hill Day 2017: A Success Story
|
Hill Day 2017 was the most successful yet as a result of the joint efforts of 21 partner organizations and over 700 advocates.
Substance use and mental health professionals came together from all 50 States as well as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam, and together they met with over 300 members of Congress heard about the needs of those living with mental illness and/or addictions, as well as those in recovery. In addition, in the last week, nine new cosponsors have signed on to the bills we talked to our legislators about!
Hill Day is over, but the opportunity to influence public policy is not. For ways to follow up with your legislators and continue to make your voice heard, click here.
