When a disturbing or traumatic event occurs at work or involves coworkers, a counselor can come on-site to talk with employees who have been affected, give them an opportunity to talk about their feelings, provide guidance about what they can expect, and assist them to return to previous levels of functioning as quickly as possible.
Uncertainty and depression, even for those who weren’t close to the tragedy, can show up weeks or months later, and not everyone deals with a trauma or crisis immediately or in the same way.
