Craig is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in OR and WA. His clinical training is crisis and trauma focused. Craig did 7 seasons in wildland on handcrews, rappel and short-haul crews throughout the PNW with an additional 5 years as a volunteer with 3 years as a resident for a rural district outside of Kennewick, WA. Craig merged firefighting and mental health as he rode along with Spokane Fire Department as a ‘co-deployed’ first responder. In that role, he got a strong sense of the increasing level of difficulty some of the calls entail as he responded alongside a Spokane Fire paramedic to try to resolve emergency behavioral health calls.
