AGPA Community Outreach Efforts
Our hearts go out to all of those impacted by Hurricane Florence.The Group Foundation for Advancing Mental Health supports AGPA's outreach efforts in response to traumatic events. There are a number of materials on our website for clinicians, the public and the media regarding the effects of trauma and the appropriate and effective use of group interventions, including electronic copies of the modules in the AGPA training manual “Group Interventions for Treatment of Psychological Trauma.”
AGPA Community Outreach Co-Chairs Drs. Craig Haen and Suzanne Phillips discuss the valuable role groups play in helping communities and families heal and develop resiliency following traumatic events.
