The Team

The Kansas All-Hazards Behavioral Health Team (KAHBH Team) is a project, funded by a contract between Kansas State University and the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, Mental Health Services.
Beginning in January 2005, Dr. Briana Nelson Goff, Associate Professor of Family Studies and Human Services, and Charlie Griffin, Research Assistant Professor of Family Studies and Human Services, were named project coordinators in charge of developing a State plan for disaster behavioral health in Kansas. The KAHBH Team also includes Kathy Harmon, Interim Co- Director of Mental Health, Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, and recent graduates and current graduate and undergraduate students at Kansas State University.

The State Plan will address preparedness activities, response coordination, and recovery services in the event of a Presidentially declared disaster or other public health emergency.
