    We provide supportive and compassionate counselling with an experienced therapist who actively listens to your concerns and can assist you in returning to normal functioning. Our therapies focus on your individual experience and tailor the treatment to meet your needs. Often our past can impact on our capacity to manage a life-threatening event and your therapist will ensure that all issues regarding the event and how it affects your experience are managed in therapy for a better outcome for you and your family.

    It is often difficult for those you have experienced a traumatic event to visit our centre due to illness physical limitations or workplace demands. We can provide onsite debriefing to individuals or employees of organisations to ensure that awareness of the impact of trauma are managed and normalised and the level of distress is minimalised.

    This is often a useful and beneficial avenue to provide psycho-education to a number of people who have experienced the event as a group. This psycho-education can validate any psychological impact of the event, normalise symptoms and identify those in the group that may be potentially at risk of the development of pathology given their previous lived experience.

    The group debrief will prepare individuals in the group for those symptoms that are normal following exposure to a traumatic event and thereby lessen the distress that can often occur with a lack of information or preparedness.

    Whilst we acknowledge the value of a mentally healthy workplace that organisations may espouse, the reality of workplaces are often at a disconnect with the values and the attitudes of supervisors and middle management’s response to an employee’s experience of a traumatic event.

    The Trauma Recovery Centre has developed specialised programs for all types of organisations ranging from first responders to workplaces with staff that have experienced either a workplace or personal traumatic event.

    Research has identified that workplace culture/stigmatisations of mental health and the inability of management to identify basic psychological dysfunction can alter the trajectory (from dysfunction) and the subsequent recovery of a person’s experience of a traumatic event.

    The Trauma Recovery Centre aims to educate and de-stigmatise mental health to all levels of management to better support and better understand the mechanisms involved following the exposure to a traumatic event. This is imperative to address the duty of care within organisations to promote wellbeing for all of their employees and open discussions to increase the awareness of mental health in the workplace.

    The programs are specifically designed and we work with your organisation to collaboratively address issues that are impacting on the capacity to support staff and ensure engagement and connection that ultimately result in staff feeling valued during their recovery and therefore lessen the impact on the workplace (and absenteeism).

    The value of employees or members of an organisation cannot be understated and return to normal functioning is imperative on a number of levels. Following exposure to a traumatic event, it can be extremely difficult to return to any place that is similar to the event. Avoidance and a lack of normality can often result in a higher level of distress with subsequent higher degree of unplanned absence.

    The Trauma Recovery Centre rehabilitation specialists understands both the difficulty for employees or members to return to their previous normal role. We can provide a supportive structured rehabilitation program (working collaboratively with treating professionals) within a trauma focused cognitive behavioural construct to ensure that staff or members can return to their normal routine or work role with as little impact on both themselves and the organisation.
