CARE TEAM
ABOUT
The mission of the CARE Team is to advocate for the resiliency of SAR volunteers throughout the mission cycle and to prepare members to cope with traumatic stress by proactively training members to be resilient and reactively supporting rescuers after critical incidents in order to prevent stress injuries.
​
Made up of members from units within the King County Search and Rescue Association (KCSARA), the CARE Team is a volunteer-owned group who advocate for psychological first aid across the organization. This Team has recognition from KCSARA as well as the King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) SAR coordinator and operates in partnership with other county resources.
