The 2018 wildfire season in California was the most devastating on record, with the Camp Fire in Butte County being the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. BCDBH is applying for SAMHSA Disaster Response funding to significantly increase access to mental health and substance use disorder services to the older adult population (ages 60+) throughout the County. The collaboration seeks to enhance current outreach teams utilizing staff specially trained in serving older adults, focusing on trauma related to the Camp Fire and its coinciding emotional, social, physical, and economic health related challenges.
