Victim & Family Assistance

Communication & Compassion

Assisting Victims & Families in Crisis Situations

Being prepared to respond in a crisis is important … whether it is a large-scale deployment or an intimate hand-holding conversation. When it comes to assisting victims and families, it takes compassion, communication and expert knowledge in behavioral health and counseling. On behalf of your organization, we can help support victims and families in times of crisis by:

Providing a central location for affected individuals
Coordinating briefings with local authorities and safety personnel
Gathering and distributing information to victims and families
Reducing media access to the assistance areas
Arranging for family travel, lodging and memorial needs
Easing the issues of family dynamics in a state of stress

We focus on the here and now. We focus on your people, so that you can focus on organizational continuity and recovery plans, knowing that they are cared for.
