Application of Psychological First Aid for Employees in the Midst of Financial Crisis

In some ways the current global economic downturn feels like a monstrous hurricane. It’s about the impact; not the incident! Business leaders and EAP professionals are looked upon for leadership to guide individual and organizational survival/"surthrival". This practical 90-minute audio conference will review general concepts and provide strategies essential to facilitating resiliency with those impacted by the economic crisis. The core activities of Psychological First Aid will be integrated within a phase-sensitive, multi-component structure. Adaptations to typical crisis response initiatives will be discussed. Audience members will have opportunities to interact with the presenter and one another in open dialogue discussions during the presentation.
