The Community Crisis Response Team (CCRT) is here to help. Since 1997, a professionally trained, 50-member Response Team has been helping local people in the aftermath of tragic events such as homicides, terrorist attacks, drunk driving crashes, hate crimes, and natural disasters.
The after-effects of these events often reach far beyond the people we think of as victims. Many others may be affected – witnesses, family members, neighbors, children. All these people may struggle with feelings of helplessness, confusion, despair, anger, and grief. The Community Crisis Response Team provides the assistance that these community members need to deal with what has happened.
The CCRT is made up of caring professionals from the community who donate their time. We facilitate meetings that bring people together to talk about how the crisis has affected them, to heal with the support of others, to plan next steps, and to connect with other resources when needed. Types of services we provide include:
· Traumatic stress debriefings (in-depth discussion).
· Crisis management briefings (community meetings for larger groups).
· Organizational consultations.
· One-on-one crisis intervention.
· Information and referral.
· Library materials on trauma and violence.
The Community Crisis Response Team goes out to the people who are affected.
All our services are free and confidential.
This program is partially supported by MOVA through the 1984 VOCA grant from OVC, OJP, U.S. DOJ. We receive referrals from the District Attorney’s Office, the State Police, schools, businesses, human service agencies, and individuals affected by crises.
We are recruiting new Response Team Members.
