Phone Call Away

As soon as feasible, an emergency call to the Workplace Trauma Center should be made for assistance with any Crisis Situation. Our intake staff will assist you in determining the most appropriate strategies for supporting your personnel. If indicated, on-site support will be scheduled at the time and place that is most appropriate and convenient for your staff. Once on-site, our crisis management specialists will meet first with your management team to work out the specific crisis management plan. The timing of the intervention depends on the nature of the crisis. For instance, bank robberies are scheduled for after the police and FBI are finished with their eyewitness interviews. Support is provided by a Workplace Trauma Center professional who is a licensed mental health professional who is specially trained in crisis intervention.

Referral to appropriate local follow up resources will be offered to insure the ongoing care of your personnel.
