FREE ONLINE COURSES
Essential Learning, Tennessee Association of Mental Health Organizations (TAMHO) and Tennessee Primary Care Association (TPCA) express heartfelt sorrow to those affected by the recent flooding in Nashville, TN and the surrounding areas.
We know that many health care providers and community members are working hard to provide support, respond to the disaster and help their communities rebuild.
For months to come, we know that these professionals and volunteers will be assisting people and their communities in dealing with feelings of anxiety, sadness and loss.
In a show of support to those in Tennessee and surrounding states, we would like to offer 2 free courses to help children, adolescents, adults and the community.
It is our hope that this can help the many providers and community members with additional tools they need to support both themselves and their communities rebuild.
For professionals, continuing education units are also offered at no charge through June 30th for the 2nd course listed below.
Helping Children and Adolescents Cope with Violence and Disasters
Violence or natural disasters can cause trauma in young people. Trauma is hurt or harm. It can be hurt to a person's body. It can be harm to a person's mind. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) works to help children who experience trauma.
Disaster Mental Health Intervention: Project P-FLASH
Project P-FLASH stands for Practical Frontline Assistance and Support for Healing. This 6 credit hour course reviews available knowledge on mental health effects of disaster survival from prior incidents of terrorism and previous disasters. It discusses PTSD, its prevalence, diagnosis, co-morbidity and the associated risk factors. The authors address practical front-line skills for working with traumatized people in post-disaster settings. This course has been funded and supported by The September 11th Fund through a contract with Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. The authors are Dr. Carol North and Dr. Barry Hong from Washington University in St. Louis and Dr. Betty Pfefferbaum of the University of Oklahoma in Oklahoma City. Accreditations include ANCC, APA, ASWB, CCB, LBP, NAADAC, NBCC, OCDP.

DONATE TO THE EFFORT
The unprecedented floods in Tennessee have created new homelessness, deprivation and health threats. Health Care for the Homeless projects and Community Health Centers here are working hard to assure that their clients' needs are met, and we are writing to invite your participation in that effort.
The Tennessee Primary Care Association and the National Health Care for the Homeless Council, both Nashville-based, have created a Flood Relief Fund to support the efforts of affected Health Centers at this critical time.
We will distribute 100 percent of contributions to this fund among the 68 health center sites in the 52-county disaster zone, and the Centers will use these emergency funds as they see fit to meet their clients' needs. These uses may include purchase of medication, diabetic supplies, cash grants to clients for basic needs, additional outreach or other services--whatever makes the most sense locally.
Contributions may be made online at the National Health Care for the Homeless Council's website, with a designation for "Tennessee Flood Relief." Donations are fully tax-deductible.
The Tennessee Primary Care Association will survey the Health Centers to learn where needs exist, and the National Council will distribute all donations quickly and evenly among these identified Centers.
Thank you for your concern for our neighbors who are dispossessed by the flood.
