We are looking for one more NASW-CA member who is a Red Cross volunteer to join Robin Siegal, LCSW, and Joni Diamond, LCSW, in representing NASW at the California Disaster Mental Health Coalition. This is a multi-disciplinary coalition which meets twice a year in-person and once a year telephonically to discuss the latest best practices and plan with one another should a major disaster strike in California.

Social Workers making a difference when disaster strikes! Let’s join together!
