Critical Incidents

Critical Incidents are traumatic, disturbing events involving the loss of health or life which significantly affect everyday well-being and/or the ability to work effectively. 

20+ years experience

For over twenty years, I have served workers in a wide range of incidents, including murder, armed felony, sudden death, suicide, medical fatality, terrorism, industrial accidents, natural disasters and psychiatric emergencies. I usually provide services within 72 hours after the incident occurs.

Trauma-informed

Working with people who have recently experienced significant loss in from everyday life events has taught me a lot. Yet  I continually learn about the nature of trauma and its effects. My Critical Incident practice has been instrumental to my understanding, and ability to help people, including on a single intervention basis.

Serving workers

I have directly served many organizations coping with recent tragic and traumatic loss. My onsite approach has helped them develop positive short & long-term outcomes that value everyone. I offer consultation to create critical incident response programs that actively address effects on workers’ mental health.

Specific training
