Group Support and Debriefing
Protecting the culture of community organizations and promoting wellness.
A crisis incident is an event that causes strong emotional reactions. Events involving violence in the workplace, new pandemic restrictions, a loss or sudden death, serious injury, or a threat to a person’s well-being, or even an employee termination can change the culture of an organization.
Crisis events can greatly affect an organization by decreased productivity, absenteeism, and low morale. Depending on how an organization responds to a crisis event, it affects not only the organization as a whole but employees in their personal lives as well.
Distressing situations in the workplace are unavoidable. Group Support and Debriefing is a mental health service that can assist your organization by raising awareness of the emotional impact of stressful situations, helping your team work together, teaching helpful coping skills, and facilitating a return to normalcy.

It is recommended that debriefing occur 24 to 72 hours after the initial incident to provide greatest support for employees. However, debriefing after this timeframe can also be helpful and effective.
Benefits of group support & DEBRIEFING
This service can help groups discuss and process the incident and their reactions to it. To adapt well, we have to be able to acknowledge what happened and how it affected each person involved. A mental health clinician providing this service educates groups on common and normal reactions to adverse events, positive ways of coping and reintegrating, and can oversee or facilitate referrals for those that could benefit from individual services.
WHAT IS BURNOUT?
- To deplete oneself

- “Super Achiever Sickness”- Whenever the expectation level is dramatically opposed to reality and the person persists in trying to reach expectation, is where you will find yourself on the path to burnout
How does a crisis impact burnout?
Any situation that creates a major stress response can permanently alter the culture of a workplace and lead to employee burnout.
Creating space to acknowledge the impact of the crisis helps to prevent burnout by building emotional intelligence skills, facilitating resilience, and establishing commitment to one another as members of the same team.
