AACC Divisional Membership (AACC membership required)
The Grief, Crisis & Trauma Division (GCTD) exists to support mental health professionals, chaplains, pastors, crisis responders, and volunteers who serve in helping roles related to grief counseling, crisis intervention, and disaster response. Our mission is to strengthen and encourage those who walk alongside others in times of trauma, loss, and hardship.
Through networking, collaboration, and access to practical resources, the GCTD helps caregivers stay connected, supported, and well-informed. If you’re serving in crisis and grief care, you don’t have to do it alone—GCTD is here to walk with you.
