About
Who we are:
Our collective experience lies within the aviation, healthcare, emergency services, military, education and private sectors, but our extensive experience and knowledge has evidenced that there are no barriers to the organisations we can and have worked with. We are united by our desire to mitigate the impact of crises on your people. Whilst we cannot prevent traumatic events happening, we work to gather future learning, reduce distress and empower your people to connect with the most appropriate support for them. We value our strong links with European and US partners to share learning and best practice. You will find our individual biogs below.
We came together to establish our organisation in 2014, (initially as PSA Ltd) following a major incident in a closely associated organisation. Whilst the organisation worked within a high-pressure environment, it did not have the post-crisis support in place for staff. Dealing with this traumatic situation had a devastating impact across a range of individuals and we had the trained skills to support, mitigate and signpost specialist psychological support. We are trained experts in various crisis management tools including Trauma Risk Management (TRiM), Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), Crew Resource Management (CRM) and Mental Health First Aid (MHFA). These tools enable us to assess, choose and deliver the best use of all resources for a safe and efficient outcome in challenging workplaces. We have developed an effective and broad range of packages to assist organisations in anticipation of, during and following a crisis.
