This module will provide a brief overview on how to start thinking, assessing, and planning to implement a Tribal Crisis Response-Elder Protection Team.

Building a Tribal Crisis Response: Suicide Response Multidisciplinary Team takes time and dedication from many people. This training aims to build capacity to address suicide concerns by providing an overview of protective factors and risk factors of AI/AN communities and using different interventions, approaches, and practices to guide implementing a Tribal Crisis Response: Suicide Response Multidisciplinary Team and Plan.

 

Developing a TCR- Emergency Operations Plan

Emergency preparedness involves thinking about hazards that threaten the communities' safety and developing an emergency operations plan. A Tribal Emergency Operations Plan guides how the Tribe will respond to an emergency or disaster event.
