Taloga MARC Deployment

Apr 22 2018

The OKMRC Stress Response Team had been requested by the Oklahoma Conference of Churches to support members of this organization (disaster chaplains) as they interact with those impacted by the wildfires as the latter seek services at the MARC. The principle duties for which SRT team members are responsible are to provide Psychological First Aid while performing the role of MARC Client Ambassador. Client Ambassadors serve as a point of contact in the MARC for clients/survivors while they are waiting to be seen by partner agency caseworkers, assist clients in navigating the MARC and ensure that clients meet with the appropriate agencies. Thus this role provides SRT team members a natural way to interact with survivors and provide PFA.
