Organisational Support

Adequately supporting staff in the wake of traumatic experiences can be key to both maintaining their mental health and productivity. Equally, providing training as a preemptive measure can help to improve engagement and reduce turnover, especially when management are provided with education to help them support staff and understand mental health issues.

Critical Incident Response and Trauma Consultancy

Trauma can take many forms and can provoke a range of reactions which are often misunderstood, leading to further issues in future. As an employer, your workforce can be impacted tremendously by unforeseen experiences, regardless of industry. By providing a rapid response, typically within 24-72 hours from an event, you can ensure that staff are debriefed regarding their experiences, understand typical trauma reactions and how to properly manage these symptoms. 
You may also wish to assess your response to future traumas, including reviewing policy and procedure, or supporting specific staff in the long term. By seeking consultancy, you can rest assured that any decisions are informed by expert advice and appropriate research.

Training sessions

Mental health related absence is at an all time high, with stress-related absences representing 54% of long term absences as of 2020 across all industries. Many employers are willing to support staff in this regard, but do not have the relevant experience or knowledge to meaningfully engage with the topic. By arranging training sessions you can improve mental health awareness, help staff to manage stress, develop their resilience and support one another. You may also wish to consider training managers to improve their understanding of typical mental health experiences, helping them to spot symptoms and feel confident in engaging staff in conversations to better support them. Your training needs will vary depending upon your organisational structure, industry and well-being agenda. As such, all sessions I provide are bespoke in order to meet your needs.
