EARLY INTERVENTION Services for You

---

Living through a trauma or other adverse life event takes a significant toll on one's emotional health. With this service, you will have an expert trauma specialist to turn to for support, information, and guidance as you navigate through your post-trauma recovery. Learn about typical trauma responses, stabilize your reactions, identify problems, develop solutions, etc.  

When you or somebody close to you experiences a high stress event, the immediate aftermath can be difficult, if not overwhelming. Bring your questions, troubleshoot problematic responses, and learn how to intervene before early signs of distress get worse. Post-stressor consultation also is well-suited for a family spokesperson who is seeking guidance on behalf of a trauma survivor. 

Gather your group together for a collective consultation on (almost) anything mental health-related. Troubleshoot problematic situations, gain new coping strategies, improve your trauma informed approach to others, etc.  

In response to a highly stressful event, timing is everything. Our customizable Early Intervention programs can range in formality and can be tailored to any time frame.

Whether you are looking to improve an interaction with a coworker, prepare for a return-to-work after a life event, or revise your own work-life balance, individual consultation with an expert mental health professional can be a game changer.
