  1.1. emergency phase;

Clinical mental health practitioner's workers have varied roles although they are mainly specialized to aid patients or survivors overcome troubled mental states.

 In the emergency phase a mental health practitioner is first changed with the responsibility of assessing the mental health of the survivor and make plans on how to manage the survivors distress, he/she should also provide emotional support if necessary for the survivor and family. The practitioner should also guide the survivor on techniques to manage stress or/and anxiety. 

Step-by-step explanation

During the early post impact face, the mental health worker should continue with the assessments on the survivor and gauge how the survivor is coping or responding to traumatic stress, the patient should be properly screened in case of any diagnosis. He she should also provide continuous emotional support to the survivor and family and arrange or schedule meetings with the survivor/family/providers to provide a debrief if the survivor is getting better before being discharged. He/she should also consult with them to ensure that follow-up and close monitoring of survivor's mental health care is advocated.

The restoration phase involves the recovery phase of the survivor, here the clinical roles of a mental health worker can provide necessary resources to help educate the survivor and/or family about the psychological effects of disasters or tragedies and how to handle them and connect them with aftercare if needed. There should also be scheduled post discharge meetings for the survivor and continued assessment and follow up with family to screen for any relayed traumatization if necessary.
