Abstract
Following a devastating fire at the Beverly Hills Supper Club, mental health professionals developed an outreach program to identify survivors at risk for long-term impairment and to offer preventive services. Differences among four outreach modes, in terms of impairment and efficiency of effort, are discussed in the context of a general survivors' reluctance to utilize mental health resources.Keywords
