Workplace accidents, co-worker death, robbery or other traumatic events can elicit strong emotional reactions. When one of these "critical incidents" occurs within your workgroup, employees may need some time and professional intervention to assist them in dealing with their emotions.  The St. John's Mercy EAP/MAP can assist you in minimizing the negative impact of a critical incident for the employees and the entire work group.  A “debriefing” led by your professional EAP/MAP team can help your work group cope most effectively following the traumatic event.

A St. John's Mercy EAP/MAP debriefing includes:

• On-site group intervention
• Education to assist the work group
• Individual intervention as needed
• Follow up with the organization and individual to assure positive outcomes

If you feel your workgroup could benefit from this service, please call the St. John's Mercy EAP/MAP at 314-729-4650 #2 or 800-413-8008 #2
