3 The Arkansas Crisis Response Team (ARCRT) The Arkansas Crisis Response Team is an all volunteer non-profit organization providing emotional first aid in the aftermath of a natural or manmade disaster. ARCRT has served Arkansas communities for more than 13 years. The 240-member team of professionals is comprised of healthcare professionals, faith-based organizations, educators, higher education professionals, law enforcement officers, fire and rescue responders, mental health professionals and victim advocates. What Is Being Said About ARCRT Training? One of the strengths the ARCRT brings to its work with victims is its interdisciplinary membership, drawing on the skills and gifts of many people bringing their professional expertise to the scene of a crisis. As a physician, there is a niche for my skills in this team effort that complements the others, and it gets me back to my roots in medicine roots that involve listening to the person in front of me. Steven L. Thomason, M.D., M.Div., Medical Director, Northwest Arkansas Circle of Life Hospice Crisis intervention is invaluable in a hospital setting where the staff is routinely under high amounts of job related stress. This is especially true after intense or difficult cases, as well as periodically, to deal with never-ending chronic stressors that are part of our day to day jobs. Sandy Pryor, Director of Emergency Services, Baptist Health Medical Center, Little Rock As a member of the Arkansas Crisis Response Team, it is very rewarding to be able to give back to communities and, in particular, other hospitals during their time of need. It is also very beneficial to have the skills necessary to handle a crisis in the event that something were to happen at any of our own facilities. Jennifer Lang, PhD, Administrator, Methodist Behavioral Hospital I recommend the ARCRT training which provides skills in emotional first aid. The training in crisis response is invaluable for everyone in the health professions even if they never serve on a response team. Being on a response team has also been one of my most rewarding and humbling experiences as a physician. Joanna Seibert, M.D., Professor of Radiology and Pediatrics, Arkansas Children s Hospital and UAMS Training Faculty Jennifer Lang received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Tulsa. She has been employed by Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana as a child psychologist and as Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Neurology and has extensive experience with both adult and child populations. She is a certified crisis responder for the state of Arkansas and has responded to multiple local and national disasters. Dr. Lang is the hospital administrator for Methodist Behavioral Hospital in Maumelle, Arkansas. Rev. Msgr. Jack D. Harris was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1974 and holds a Masters Degree in Divinity. He is currently the ARCRT Chaplain and Vice-Chair of the Ethics Committee. Jack began direct crisis intervention as a pastor in Jonesboro during the Westside Middle School shootings. Since then he has responded to a wide variety of disasters including fatal fires, shootings, industrial accidents, tornadoes, line of duty death, hurricanes and suicides. Jack led the first Arkansas team to New Jersey following the World Trade Center disaster. In 2004, Jack was team leader in the aftermath of the four Florida hurricanes. His leadership was called on again in 2005 when he led a team to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Because of his expertise in death and dying, Jack has led teams that involved high profile homicides.
