Local counselor and Caddo Sheriff's chaplain Durrell Tuberville will leave for Haiti tomorrow to assist with emergency debriefing and crisis intervention for emergency workers there.

He helped coordinate the first debriefing team for the Caddo Sheriff's Office, Shreveport Police and Shreveport Fire departments and served with the teams from 1990-2009. He is trained by the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation and has been an ICISF trainer since 1990.
