Traumatic incidences


Critical or traumatic incidences can happen in all work settings. They can take many forms, including industrial accidents, disasters, violent incidents, such as hold-ups, bullying, sudden lay-offs, the witnessing of death or other traumatic events.

The effect of a trauma or critical incident can be shattering. Once in the grip of a trauma, people often can't perform or concentrate on their work and distance themselves more and more from surrounding working relationships. Trauma and its resulting effects can therefore carry significant costs for an individual and their organization. Additionally, the prospect of litigation could be faced if the appropriate support has not been put into place fore an employee to help them recover from the effect of trauma or critical incident at work.

How can psychology for business help?

Psychology for Business offers a specialist trauma service that can help people work through and recover from their traumatic experiences or critical incidences at work based on the latest, most effective trauma treatment techniques.

Trauma work usually starts with an in-depth meeting designed to find out what happened during a critical incident or a trauma and how a person or several people were affected.

A program, either involving working with a group or team or with one or several individuals that were involved in the critical incident or trauma, would then be designed. This would aim to help people process their distressing experiences in order to enable them to re-build effective functioning at work as soon as possible.
