Green Cross Deployment Certification

Those volunteering to deploy must be certified for deployment through the Green Cross Academy of Traumatology.  GCAT weighs the following factors when certifying an individual for deployment:

  • Certification from Green Cross Academy of Traumatology or one of their reciprocal organizations
  • Prior professional experience working in crisis situations
  • Completion of the above referenced Compassion Fatigue Self-Tests and GCAT approval of scores

Academy members can submit their certification(s) with the Academy and the Center as part of the deployment certification process as evidence of their knowledge, experience, education and training.
