 CARE RESPONSE TEAM (CRT)
TRAINING
Caring for our families during their darkest hours of need….

The concept behind CRT teams is to provide a team of caring and

trained volunteers that can immediately “be there” for a spouse and
family after notification of a death or serious injury.

CRT volunteers are carefully screened and selected by the

Rear Detachment Commanders. General criteria include: Maturity,
Life Experience, Emotional Stability, Discreetness, Availability
(upon need). Volunteers are trained to provide a wide range of
assistance, from emotional support to basic, simple tasks (screening
calls and visitors, caring for children/pets, minor housekeeping, etc.)
that may be difficult for the family to focus on during this time.

CRT teams convey a critical message to the spouse and family…

that people care…. that the Army cares.

CRT Class Schedule:

02 March(Tuesday), 8:30am – 1:00pm, ACS
(There will not be a lunch hour break, so you may bring a snack )

CRT Refresher Course:

23 March (Tuesday), 8:30am – 11:30pm, ACS
(Only if CRT Class was attended 6-12 months ago)

Attendees must register in advance.

Classes may be subject to cancellation if there is insufficient registration.
