Synopsis: 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.
