Hurricane Isaias Mental health and Wellness team
About the role
Capacity Path is actively recruiting providers in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton counties to join our Disaster Cadre in response to recent disasters leaving many in urgent need of support. This is a short-term, paid opportunity to 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. Deployments may last from as few as 5 days to several months depending on your availability and disaster impacts. All responders must be able and willing to travel to disaster-affected areas when deployed; this is not a remote position. Travel and lodging will be arranged or reimbursed as needed.
