Recovery After Trauma

People working in transport, warehousing and logistics can be exposed to potentially traumatic events, such as being involved in or first on the scene at motor vehicle accidents or near misses, workplace accidents or physical assaults.  After such events, it is normal to experience strong feelings of fear, sadness, guilt, anger, or grief. Generally, these resolve on their own with the support of family and friends, but for some people, these events can leave lasting impacts on their mental health and wellbeing.

Healthy Heads, in collaboration with Phoenix Australia – Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health, has developed a suite of resources to support Recovery After Trauma. These resources help you understand the range of common reactions after a traumatic event and provide simple but effective tips to help with recovery in the initial days and weeks following. These resources will also help you identify any ongoing impacts and identify effective treatments that are available so that you know when and where to get the right support.
