Called to Crisis.com

Times are tough in our economy.
Morale is low, and stress is high.
More than ever, business and industry
leaders need resources to help their
employees, especially when a crisis
occurs beyond the scope of
normal training and experience.

Employees must deal with job loss
and downsizing, angry clients and customers,
an unexpected jump in the cost of living
and related work expenses, and loss of
benefits and retirement funds.

Supervisors and human resource
personnel can find themselves
managing events they could never
have imagined, or dealing with emotions
and reactions that need the intervention of
a trained mental health provider
experienced in crisis counseling.
It is times like these they can call:

But there are other kinds of crisis as well. Companies can routinely
experience the death of an employee from natural causes, sometimes even on-site,
or their chronic illness or disability. Banks get robbed, couples bring domestic violence
into the workplace, or employees can witness horrible injuries that result from
accidents with equipment and machinery.

Events like these can be very traumatic for any employee, and can affect their health,
happiness, and emotional stability, not to mention their productivity
and job satisfaction, for many years to come. Critical incident debriefing
is a special technique designed to reduce the traumatizing effects of crisis
in the work place.

Deborah Dunn, LMFT, owner of Deborah B. Dunn and Associates,
provides critical incident debriefing, pre- and post event consultation,
educational training, and other mental health services to large corporations,
industries, schools, municipalities, county government and small business.

She frequently teaches disaster mental health and has debriefed in such
high-profile situations as the Virginia Tech massacres and in the Army Corp
of Engineers in New Orleans, where many employees had lost homes,
possessions, pets, and even family members during Hurricane Katrina and
the breach of the levee. She has responded to scores of bank robberies,
murders, suicides, and the sudden death of employees, particularly in eastern
North Carolina, and the Research Triangle Park of Raleigh/Durham.

However, she is willing to travel to your site to provide services, consult by phone,
or teach via web seminar whenever feasible. She is also available to speak to
organizations about her experiences, and is a seasoned motivational speaker,
radio show guest, and is the author of several books related to her work with
families and marriages in crisis. She is currently working on a handbook to teach
employers how to effectively deal with grief and loss in the workplace.

Additional resources, links, and downloads will soon be available here.

Please contact 919.550.2897 (office) or 919.630.6363 (cell) or email Deborah at
info@calledtocrisis.com if you have further questions.
