Hello |
|
|
We do important work and we must do it well. Every
day CCN's network development efforts must build and develop a
nationwide network of Specialists characterized by both 1) enough
qualified members to provide prompt, cost-effective coverage everywhere
our customers are located even in the face of mass disasters and 2)
standardized delivery of the latest evidence-informed best practices in
critical incident response to the workplace by competent and
compassionate Specialists. Those two objectives are daunting but not
mutually exclusive!
In this edition of Practice Points please take
note of CCN's initiatives to harness technological and human resources
to train, support, and provide a meaningful professional community
experience for our specialty network. Current efforts include:
- The launch of CrisisCoach 2.0 for Providers
- Accelerated distribution of the 2006 version of
our on-line/on-site training "Advancing Best Practices: Critical
Incident Response to the Workplace"
- Perpetual learning and leadership as we attend and present at numerous workplace-related professional conferences
- Promotion of discounted specialty trainings by our alliance partner Kenyon International
- The development of partnerships with
organizations like Behavioral Medical Interventions to extend and
coordinate a continuum of behavioral risk solutions.
Our investment in these initiatives will further enhance CCN's performance as your Proven Trusted Partner in the delivery of critical incident response services. Thank you for honoring us with your trust.

Crisis Care Network and Behavioral Medical Interventions Form
Collaborative Partnership to Integrate Disability Management
Practices with Critical Incident Response Services |
|
Timely delivery of Critical Incident Response Services following
tragedy has proven to be an effective return-to-work/return-to-life
tool. People are amazingly resilient! However, a small percentage of
employees warrant additional absence/disability management services
including further assessment, treatment, and return to work planning.

Trained Trainers "Raise the Bar" of Evidence-Informed Best Practices |

In June, 20 select CCN Specialists gathered in Grand Rapids, MI for
