Hello |
|
There has been nothing natural about this spring’s “natural disasters”. In the past three months Crisis Care Network has responded to customers impacted by the earthquake/tsunami in Japan, flooding along the Mississippi, and tornadoes in Alabama and Missouri. Devastating.
Amidst the tragedy of countless gripping stories, we have been honored to serve individuals, companies, and communities as they grappled with envisioning a positive “new normal” and then undertaking the difficult tasks to get there. We helped leaders to lead their organizations when they themselves were impacted. We “cared for those who care for those” by supporting responders as they were confronted by overwhelming loss of life, loss of home, and loss of business. And we helped survivors cope with the loss of loved ones and colleagues. Brave stories of resilience abound.
Caring for people during these times and helping them return to life and productivity is important work that must be done well. This edition of PracticePoints aims to provide you with information and resources to help you do so. There may have been little anyone could have done to prevent the disaster, but where it goes from here is up to all of us - together.
