Stress & Trauma Management
Who is it suitable for
InterHealth is continuing to develop our Trauma Management Services in line with current good practice. Our approach is underpinned by the latest research surrounding the management of post-trauma issues.
- Suitable for those who work in situations such as disaster
relief, refugee camps or conflict zones where traumatic experience is the prevailing norm; as well as those who work with
on-going trauma narratives such as prison monitors, journalists or human rights specialists.
- Also appropriate for those who have been through a critical incident such as a mugging, abduction or serious road accident, and for those who have witnessed a traumatic event such as violence against persons, a major fire or a bombing.
- These services are confidential and aimed at empowering people to come to terms with their experience and helping them to to identify the most helpful psycho-social support available to them.
- Telephone back-up for agencies subscribed to the travelwellplan. It is often appropriate for HR staff at international HQ or at Regional level to facilitate the management of things on the ground together with field co-ordinators whose staff are affected. They often tell us how helpful it is to run something by us on the phone or to understand how someone might be affected or to have someone briefly to talk to themselves.
- Dealing with trauma narratives. Professional support for those who work with challenging material such as journalists, prison monitors and human rights specialist.
