The role of an agency after a violent incident is just as critical as it is in early intervention. Trauma is like an earthquake; grieving and healing as a community can have a synergistic effect. The epicenter of the damage hits the immediate victims. From there, rings of impact radiate depending on physical or emotional proximity to the event.
After the impact of trauma, many people may be immobilized by the shock and uncertain what to do next. Nicoletti-Flater can offer agencies and individuals support and guidelines for overcoming immobilization and towards healing.
