Community Support

SERVING THE COMMUNITY

the Community Support Program aims to educate, provide direct care, and build the capacity of critical workers such as the community responders/ carers/ frontliners who directly serve and support the local communities, especially the most vulnerable and disadvantaged communities in times of disaster or other crisis situations.

CSP extends a helping hand to care for the mental and emotional well-being of these community responders and empower them through training that will enable them to serve and care for more community members.

Critical Incident Response

Critical Incident Response or CIR is a group crisis intervention that aims to foster the resiliency of individuals impacted by a traumatic/crisis event.
