Description: APD Disaster Healthcare Worker/Responder Preparedness & Resilience Program assists healthcare and other community partners in organizational planning for response and continuity planning. Outcome: Developing and maximizing disaster healthcare worker/responder resilience capabilities mitigates the negative health (including mental health) outcomes (i.e. depression, post-traumatic stress, anxiety and substance abuse) that creates barriers in the ability and willingness for healthcare workers/responders to perform during and after mass casualty incidents and large-scale disasters.  These barriers can also have a direct effect on rebuilding organizational systems (including healthcare) to their pre-incident levels of function.  There are six opportunities to attend this valuable training:Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at Marina Inn, 68 Monarch Bay Dr., San Leandro, CAWednesday, March 13, 2013 at Marina Inn, 68 Monarch Bay Dr., San Leandro, CATuesday, April 16, 2012, 2013 at *Boys Scouts of America, 1001 Davis St., San Leandro, CAWednesday, April 17, 2013 at *Boys Scouts of America, 1001 Davis St., San Leandro, CATuesday, June 4, 2013 *Fremont Fire Department, 3300 Capital Ave., Bldg.
