When your organisation needs care and social support for certain shocking events (serious industrial accidents, fire, aggression incidents, suicide, ...), Premed is there for you.
Care and social support are best provided as soon as possible after the event.
Colleagues are usually initially dependent on their direct supervisors or internal aid workers (e.g., confidential advisers). It is important to know that victims in the first hours after a traumatogenic event (an event that can potentially be traumatizing) need the proximity of peers (e.g., colleagues, supervisors, ...), more than the presence of an unknown specialist. So, as an involved manager or as a confidential adviser of the organisation, you can already mean a lot if you can provide good care.
What can Premed do for you?
Premed offers crisis care in cooperation with an external partner within 48 hours in the form of group discussions and/or individual discussions.
As a prevention service, we do not provide therapy.
However, as an external service for prevention and protection, we can assist you with, among other things:
- Developing a contingency plan for shocking events at work
- Drawing up a checklist with steps to be taken in case of a shocking event at work
- Sensitizing employees, employer and hierarchical line about EPHBO and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)
- Training managers and internal first responders in EPHBO (how to react to traumatogenic events?) – possibly to be added as an extra module to the first aid training for first responders
- Conducting so-called 'second' and 'third' interviews, a few days to a few weeks after the event (both individually and in groups)
Also for other psychosocial support (stress, burn-out, transgressive behaviour, …) we are the right partner!
