Health Medical Homework Help

The University of Alabama DMH Health & Medical Essential Skills Discussion

 

What do you think it takes to be a qualitatively effective Disaster Mental Health responder?

1. What kinds of character traits and skills seem necessary?

2. What kinds of character traits and even skill sets might present barriers to being effective?

3. Now, consider if you were in this role. What traits or skills do you think you possess that would be helpful in it? Or, for what role do you see yourself better suited? Do you feel that there would be certain aspects of that role that might be especially challenging for you personally?

Are you surprised by any of your classmates’ reactions? Why or why not? Did someone raise a necessary skill or character trait that you hadn’t thought about for that role?
