    DEEP PREP

    Competencies
    The Centers for Public Health Preparedness, administered by the CDC and American Schools of Public Health, have prepared a draft set of Disaster Mental Health Core Competencies. DEEP PREP has been developed to train public health professionals and their community preparedness and response partners in a manner that addresses the full range of disaster behavioral health generalist competencies. DEEP PREP also trains on a wide range of disaster behavioral health topics that are not part of the current list of competencies.
