Crisis Responders

When there's a crisis, how can I help?

FEI Behavioral Health, an international leader in Crisis Management Services, is searching for clinicians to participate in short term contract work in response to aviation accidents and other major catastrophic incidents.  FEI is a for-profit company that works with corporate customers. These customers contract with us to help them manage crises. Some of our customers use our Call Center to handle inquiries from loved ones while others use the Call Center along with Family Assistance Representatives and Crisis Support Coordinators to assist on-site. We are not an agency that responds to every disaster, like the Red Cross or the Salvation Army, for example. We activate only when our customers have a need and then we deploy responders based on geographic area.
