Gorge Trauma Response Team Now Active

Trainings this past this fall has led to the activation of a Columbia River Gorge Trauma Response Team in December.  Belinda Ballah of the Hood River County Health Department says 20 volunteers from throughout the Gorge have been responding to a number of incidents since the start of December to help those in need of emotional support after a traumatic event.  Ballah says team members are usually called in by law enforcement or first responders who have arrived at the scene who realize they can use someone to assist with emotional support.
