EMERGENCY PSYCHOLOGICAL RESPONSE TRAINING & ASSESSMENT
Since 9/11, many organizations have developed emergency plans and post event management plans. But many of these organizations have not trained their key personnel in the management of emotional and psychologically based problems during an emergency.
