Organize an EAP Group Session

After an incident* occurs, check in with your team, and remind them of the mental health and well-being supports and resources that are available to them.  Keep in mind that there are a wide range of reactions that employees may experience.   

*What is perceived as concerning or a stressful incident will vary by each individual or team, such as changes in the workplace, world events, or the loss of a team member or team member’s family member.
