ACI is currently working closely with Charlotte Russe ñ a retail store located in the Nebraska mall ñ to ensure that all employees and family members receive necessary crisis counseling, grief counseling, and other helpful resources during this critical time.
ìWhen such a horrific event like the Nebraska mall shooting occurs, people are left confused, fearful, angry, and looking for answersî says Ann Clark, CEO and Founder of ACI Specialty Benefits. ìFor these individuals, immediate and often times, ongoing counseling is the most effective way for them to make sense of their emotions ñ and the best thing employers nationwide can do is make these services available to their employees and family members. At times like these, my heart truly goes out to all those affected, and I am just grateful to be in a position to help.î
ACI Specialty Benefits offers CISD (Critical Incident Stress Debriefing) to employers across the nation and around the globe. ACI believes that if prompt trauma intervention is provided at the onset of the crisis, damaging long term effects can be minimized and employees will be better equipped to return to their daily work routine.
CISD is designed to help individuals, groups, or entire organizations cope with the difficult, overwhelming and/or stressful emotions associated with critical incidents such as workplace or school violence, untimely deaths, accidents, robberies, random crime and other traumas. CISD helps mitigate acute post-traumatic symptoms, assess the need for follow-up, and if possible, provide a sense of post-crisis psychological closure.
To speak with any of ACIís expert clinicians or counselors regarding post-traumatic emotions at the workplace, especially in regards to the Nebraska mall shooting, please feel free to contact media relations manager, Laura McDermott, at 800-932-0034 ext. 207 or lmcdermott@acieap.com.
