After a client suicide, several staff show secondary traumatic stress and the agency leadership proposes silence 'to move on.' What organizational response is most appropriate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When a client dies by suicide, the whole shop feels the blast wave—not just one office. Silence isn't strength; structured support and honest review are. Taking care of staff secondary trauma is part of the agency's crisis system.
Full Explanation
Organizational crisis response after client suicide should include staff support for secondary traumatic stress, facilitated processing, and procedural review. Suppressing discussion can worsen distress and miss system improvements. Emergency and crisis management competence extends to workforce care after traumatic events.
