Heartland Alliance for Human Needs & Human Rights has sent a team of staff and volunteers to Haiti to establish long-term services for survivors of last week’s devastating earthquake. Our initial assessment will allow critical time for mobilizing resources that will be desperately needed once emergency rescue efforts wane. With our expertise in community-based health care, mental health, and trauma recovery, Heartland Alliance plans to provide long-term mental health services to first-responder relief workers (local and international); to Haitian communities experiencing severe destruction; to Haitian children with severe trauma; and to internally displaced populations experiencing trauma.
