When Trauma Survivors Return to Work
A practical guide for managers and co-workers who want to foster the emotional recovery process of traumatized employees returning to the workplace. For trauma survivors, returning to work can be a difficult process. It can also be difficult for managers and co-workers to know how to help. This guide offers authoritative, actionable advice on how to treat colleagues after an experience such as a violent accident, rape, armed robbery, the diagnosis of a terminal illness, or a loved one’s suicide or sudden death. All too often, the trauma is left unacknowledged because no one is sure of the “right” thing to do or say. This can lead to feelings of alienation or resentment and make the recovery process difficult. Dr. Barbara Barski-Carrow offers a straightforward primer full of practical examples on how to support survivors and help them truly return to work.
