After the Event
Team welfare after impactful incidents: what support looks like, who provides it, and how to build it before it is needed.
What’s inside
Short enough to read in one sitting. Practical enough to use the same day.
What impactful events do to people — and why reactions are biology, not weakness
Recognising normal recovery, and the signs that someone is not recovering
What to do in the first hours, the first days, and the first month
Peer support that works — drawing on the TRiM evidence base, adapted for conservation
Building the welfare response into the team before you need it
Who it’s for
Everyone in conservation security — team members looking out for a colleague, patrol leaders and team leaders responsible for their teams, senior leaders and managers who build the welfare system, and operations room staff.
