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. Apply now to be considered for the 2026 roster. Think of it like being a reservist—we hope we're not needed, but if we are, we'll be ready. We are seeking professionals with experience in any of the following roles or fields:

• Licensed Clinical Mental Health Professionals (LMHC, LPC, LMFT, etc)
• Social Workers (LCSW, MSW, Registered Interns)
• Health & Wellness Coaches (Board Certified preferred - NBCHWC)
• Peer Support or Life Coaches
• Addiction or Sleep Specialists
• Licensed Massage Therapists (LMT)
• Functional Medicine and Wellness Practitioners
• Sports, Fitness, or Performance Psychologists
• Medical Professionals
• Public Health Professionals (MPH)
• Public Safety / Public Service Professionals
• NIMS/ICS-trained Responders

Requirements

Note: This is not a remote position. All responders must be able and willing to travel to disaster-affected areas when deployed. We are recruiting professionals nationwide to join our roster and respond onsite when a disaster occurs. We spend much of the year in preparations, training and readiness to deploy and when the time comes, we get our Task Force into the area that's impacted and needs us the most. We're looking for compassionate, grounded, and skilled professionals who are clear-headed in crisis and committed to making a difference. Ideal candidates will have:

• Experience in high-stress, crisis, or emergency environments
• Understanding of the emotional and logistical challenges faced by disaster survivors and first responders
• Strong communication, coaching, crisis care, and documentation skills
• The ability to collaborate in a fast-paced team environment
• A commitment to professionalism, resiliency, and trauma-informed care

Minimum requirements:

• Relevant experience in crisis care, response, or support settings
• Ability to pass a background check
• If licensed or certified, current documentation of your credentials

All positions are temporary, on-call roles for the 2026 response season. Evening and weekend work may be required. During the interview process, we'll walk you through how deployments work—including how they may fit around your existing employment or caseload. Travel and lodging will be arranged or reimbursed as needed. Endurance under pressure, reliability, and adaptability are essential. We're especially interested in individuals with the passion and resilience to serve in unpredictable, high-impact environments - professionals who thrive under pressure and feel called to support communities in crisis. Competent caring people who can work with uncertainty, changing conditions, and hold the heart of mission while able to maintain a standard of responsible personal self-care.

Benefits

We know this kind of work may not be what you usually do, but the work you may do with us when disaster strikes could be some of the most rewarding you will ever experience! We add response-specific training daily in the field on the Crisis Care Task Force to enhance your mental health and wellness skill set.

• Very competitive rates range from $350-550+/day based on qualifications/experience
• Travel & Per Diem Reimbursement (when working more than 50 miles from home address)
• Lodging & Onsite Transportation Provided
• No obligation to Deploy when requested for Availability (like a Reservist list)
