Subject: Describes the role of graduate students in providing disaster mental health services through a program with the American Red Cross (ARC). ARC disaster mental health services teams focus on the immediate emotional needs and possible posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) associated with the shock of a natural disaster, including the needs and reactions of both victims and volunteers, especially the latter. The implementation of volunteer stress teams by the Minnesota School of Professional Psychology, including 25 students and faculty, is also described. The teams were designed to help assess and limit the effects of acute and traumatic stress resulting from disaster flooding. Specific objectives included assisting local mental health and social service agencies, distributing information, providing support, and traiging victims needing professional mental health services and other flood recovery services
