Hello |

 Crisis
Care Network will respond to over 5,200 workplace tragedies this year.
The list of incidents includes robberies, violence, accidents, employee
deaths, suicides, and natural disasters that significantly impacted
employees and those close to them. Sometimes the reports are horrific.
Yet people and organizations are amazingly
resilient! Those involved in the delivery of Critical Incident Response
Services perpetually tell stories about how even in the most tragic
situations so many people tapped into belief in something bigger than
themselves, courageously reached out in leadership and support of
others, and exercised their resiliency resources to bounce back. To
guide and support that process is a tremendous responsibility and
privilege.
It is fitting for this edition of PracticePoints
to integrate with a holiday season that celebrates many belief systems
and traditions overflowing with resiliency examples and resources. I
trust that we share that message of hope.
Best,

APA Brochure Promotes Resiliency |
|
|
The American Psychological Association has developed many resources
in support of resiliency, both from a research and a direct practice
perspective. One of these brochures, "The Road to Resilience", was
developed in conjunction with the Discovery Health Channel and has
great applicability to those who have experienced a workplace trauma.

Developing Survivor Resiliency |
|
|
While we commonly think of resilience as a factor after an event has
occured, it is also a characteristic that can be encouraged and
reinforced in the workplace before an incident happens. Dr. Al
Siebert, the Director of the Resiliency Center located in Portland,
OR, offers some excellent insight into the individual qualities and
attitudes that foster resiliency. Click
