CBF 2: Counselling and Psychological Support

In times of crisis or disaster, HopeHouse must maintain its capacity to deliver core services to its vulnerable residents, particularly in the domain of Counselling and Psychological Support.

This critical business function (CBF 2) plays a central role in safeguarding the emotional well-being and mental health of residents, many of whom have already experienced trauma or instability before seeking shelter at HopeHouse.

This chapter identifies the minimum resource requirements necessary to sustain the Sub-CBFs under CBF 2 during a disaster scenario. These requirements cover human resources, workspace, technology, and critical equipment that are vital for the continuity of care.

By pre-establishing resource needs across recovery locations, HopeHouse ensures it can provide uninterrupted psychological support, maintain residents’ trust, and prevent exacerbation of mental health crises during times of disruption.

Here is the table for Part 3: BCS - T3 Minimum Resources Required during a Disaster for the Sub-CBFs under CBF 2: Counselling and Psychological Support of HopeHouse:

This table provides a practical and scalable baseline for the minimum resources required by HopeHouse to sustain critical operations during a disaster scenario, following ISO 22301 best practices and aligned with BCM Institute’s guidelines.

Summing Up ...

The effective continuation of Counselling and Psychological Support during a disaster is not only a legal and ethical obligation for HopeHouse but also a foundational pillar of its mission to provide holistic care.

The resource requirements outlined in this chapter reflect a realistic and prioritised approach to recovery planning, ensuring that the most essential elements—qualified staff, private spaces, communication tools, and therapeutic materials—are available at alternate or temporary locations.

By proactively identifying these needs, HopeHouse enhances its organisational resilience and ensures that psychological support services remain available when residents need them most.

These resource plans will be periodically reviewed and tested as part of the organisation’s broader Business Continuity Management (BCM) framework.
