Critical Incident Response
A "critical incident" is an event that has the power to overwhelm usually effective coping mechanisms. When a critical incident occurs, both the organization and its employees are impacted. EAP offers an immediate, highly sophisticated response to critical incidents to enhance and support the resilience of the organization and its employees and to facilitate return to work productivity.
UR Medicine EAP provides a multi-systemic approach to Critical Incident Response that fosters the resilience of the affected individuals and the organization. Our approach is based on an understanding of the human stress response, bereavement, and resilience; principles of crisis intervention; and the EAP's role in improving job performance and satisfaction.

"EAP played an integral part in my emotional recovery from a series of traumatic patient events. Their compassion and investment in my healing were evident during and beyond our sessions. They were committed to following up with me until I felt completely ready to complete the program. They are an invaluable asset to the University and I am eternally grateful."
