FOR ORGANIZATIONS
Workplace Crisis, Grief & Critical Incident Support
Responsive, on-site mental health support for organizations following a sudden death, serious accident, or traumatic workplace event.
When something tragic happens at work, leaders are often managing two things at once: their own response to what happened and the responsibility of helping an entire team through it.
Menachem Psychotherapy Group provides responsive, on-site mental health support following sudden loss, serious accidents, and other critical incidents affecting employees and leadership.
The goal in the immediate aftermath is not to force people to talk or process an experience before they are ready. It is to create a calm, supportive environment where employees can receive support, understand common reactions to grief and trauma, and determine what they need next.
TIMELY, THOUGHTFUL CARE
When We Can Help
Organizations may reach out following events such as:
Sudden Loss
Sudden death of an employee or colleague
Serious Accidents
Fatal or serious workplace accidents
Witnessed Events
Traumatic events witnessed by employees
Team-Wide Loss
Unexpected loss affecting a close-knit team
Critical Incidents
Workplace violence or other critical incidents
Leadership Guidance
Situations where leadership is unsure how best to support staff
Support can begin in the immediate aftermath of an incident and continue as an organization moves through the days and weeks that follow.
ONSITE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT
How We Support Your Team
On-Site Individual Support
Brief, confidential one-on-one support for employees during the workday. Sessions can help employees stabilize, understand acute grief and stress reactions, learn practical grounding strategies, and identify whether additional care may be helpful.

Small-group support gives employees who experienced a loss together an opportunity to acknowledge what happened, understand different responses to grief and trauma, and support one another without pressure to speak or grieve in any particular way.
Learn about group supportLeadership Consultation
Executives and managers are often responsible for supporting everyone else while also being affected themselves. We help leadership think through employee communication, workplace reactions, difficult conversations, return-to-work concerns, and appropriate follow-up.
Follow-Up Care
The impact of a traumatic event does not necessarily end after the first few days. Follow-up can include returning onsite, additional employee check-ins, team groups, leadership consultation, and referrals for ongoing individual treatment when appropriate.

A Response Built Around Your Organization
Leadership Consultation
We first speak with leadership or HR to understand what happened, who has been affected, and what support is needed.
On-Site Response
Support may include individual employee meetings, facilitated groups, psychoeducation, leadership consultation, and immediate emotional support.
Assessment & Referral
Employees who may need more support can be connected with appropriate resources or ongoing treatment.
Follow-Up
We can return in the days or weeks that follow as employees and leadership move through the longer-term impact of the event.
GUIDANCE FOR DECISION-MAKERS
Support for Leadership
In the aftermath of a tragedy, employees naturally look toward leadership for stability. At the same time, executives and managers may be grieving, shocked, or struggling themselves.
We work directly with leadership before, during, and after an on-site response to help determine what employees need and how the organization can respond thoughtfully.
- Communicating with employees after a death or traumatic event
- Understanding common workplace reactions to grief and trauma
- Responding to employees who are struggling
- Balancing compassion with the practical needs of the organization
- Planning follow-up support
- Supporting executives and managers who were personally affected

About Seth Menachem, LMFTCONTINUITY MATTERS
Direct, Personal Response
When an organization is dealing with a tragedy, continuity matters.
Rather than being routed through a large national provider network, organizations working with Menachem Psychotherapy Group have direct access to the clinician coordinating their response. That allows support to evolve as the needs of employees and leadership change.
Responsive
Urgent requests may be accommodated quickly based on availability.
Personal
Work directly with an experienced clinician rather than being passed between providers.
Ongoing
Support can continue beyond the initial response when additional help is needed.
ONGOING SUPPORT
Support Beyond the Immediate Crisis
Sometimes an organization's needs continue after the immediate aftermath of a loss or traumatic event.
Menachem Psychotherapy Group also offers ongoing Embedded Workplace Mental Health programs, giving employees and leadership recurring access to clinical support.
