Three mental health workers affiliated with the county’s American Red Cross chapter have been sent to help at natural disasters.
Frances Rinaldo was deployed to the Jesusita Fire in Santa Barbara. Ray and Joy LeClair were sent to the Kentucky flooding.
Santa Cruz County Red Cross mental health volunteers are all mental health professionals who volunteer their time to help those who have been through the trauma of a disaster, whether it is a single home fire or a massive disaster affecting thousands. All services provided by the Red Cross during a disaster relief operation are free of charge.
Monday, the local Red Cross chapter announced that four other disaster relief volunteers from the county had gone to Santa Barbara to help fire victims. Their tasks involved providing food, water and shelter to fire victims.
The local Red Cross chapter is looking for registered nurses and mental health workers to join their disaster relief efforts after taking part in a short training. Call Patsy Hernandez at 462-2881 ext. 16 for information.

Okay, is this a crime, car accident, or courtroom report?
Why does today’s “Cops And Courts” link to this site when the most recent article is 2 weeks old?
Another gem from the Scotts Valley Sentinel.
