Victim & Family Assistance

Communication & Compassion

Assisting Victims & Families in Crisis Situations

The capacity and competence to respond in a crisis is critical – whether it is a large-scale event or a more contained incident. Assisting victims and families requires compassion coupled with expertise in behavioral health and crisis counseling. On behalf of your organization, we support victims 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 victims 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

We focus on the needs of individuals impacted by the incident, so you can focus on organizational continuity and recovery plans.
