Disaster Mental Health Cadre / Crisis Counselor / Emergency Response Team

Mother Nature Is Unpredictable. Good Thing You're Not. When disaster strikes—hurricanes, fires, shootings—you don't freeze. You focus. You care. You act. If you're a Licensed Mental Health Professional, Social Worker, Board-Certified Coach, Addiction or Sleep Specialist, Licensed body-work or fitness professional, or trained crisis responder - we want you on our team. The Capacity Path Disaster Response Cadre is gearing up for the 2026 season, and we're seeking resilient, skilled professionals for paid deployments across Florida and occasionally out of state. Deployments may be for as few as 5 days or several months depending on your availability, and the disaster impacts. Our disaster mental health and field counseling care teams work actively in impacted areas doing a variety of tasks with survivors and responders from canvassing impacted communities, staffing community resource centers, visiting and integrating with shelter and evacuation support and an array of other exciting field operational tasks. It's an active and richly rewarding role that may change your life while it brings healing and health to hundreds if not thousands of people in deep distress. Our mission? Deliver real relief and resilience on the frontlines—supporting survivors and responders with expert crisis care, wellness, real resilience, and neurobiologically-informed mental health support. We work in the trenches, where it matters most. This dynamic work requires skilled professionals with flexibility and passion to make a positive impact in high-stress environments. No one should have to suffer alone and this team helps make sure that is handled. We work with heart and excellence to transform the suffering into a relieved, elevated experience beyond surviving, then move folks further on a path to being able to thrive through catastrophic hardships. We use somatic and integrative health models of care to make a real lasting impact to ensure communities don't stay destabilized because of a disaster. Whether this is your usual line of work or a meaningful way to serve when it matters most, join us. Train with purpose. Deploy with heart. Make an unforgettable impact.
