The capacity and competence to respond in a crisis is critical – whether it is a large-scale event or a more contained incident. Assisting survivors and families requires compassion coupled with expertise in behavioral health and crisis counseling. On behalf of your organization, we support survivors and families in times of crisis by:
- Providing a central access portal for affected individuals
- Coordinating briefings with local authorities and safety personnel
- Gathering and distributing information to survivors and families
- Reducing media access to the assistance areas
- Arranging for family travel, lodging and memorial needs
- Easing problematic family dynamics that sometimes emerge during stressful events
