The course is designed to help guide employees and their support networks through the symptoms of trauma following a serious incident at work such as mass shootings or natural disasters.
People should be the central focus of any crisis response, and we are honoured to be awarded alongside partners who do so much to help people recover their mental health after a traumatic incident.

Sentinel Hotline is a new and innovative platform aiming to give organisations an affordable way to provide trusted, reliable information to the people who need it most. Organisations in the US and UK can now set up a crisis hotline in less than five minutes, giving them the ability to keep over a million people updated at once during an incident.
Using Sentinel Hotline will be a way to counter the “fake news” that surrounds incidents on social media, such as the Metro Bank hoax that caused its shares to drop earlier this month. It could also prevent communication voids like that of the two-hour delay in emergency services responding to the Manchester Arena bombing.
YUDU Ltd has developed the Alaris app, which provides advice to places of worship, such as churches and mosques, on how to be better prepared in likelihood of an attack.
The free app provides a security plan, gives advice on cctv, full and partial evacuation, as well as information on lock downs, mail handling, reporting suspicious behaviour as well as personal protection.
