Mitigating Secondary Loss




Did crisis management help you be prepared for being inducted into the SWATA Hall of Fame?



AT Cares drove me there.



CCISM credential:



Certified Critical Incident Stress Management - Level 1 deals with individuals in crisis, the majority of AT Cares population. Level 2 deals with groups in crisis. 



Began Crisis Management training in 2019. 



AT’s managing grief:



Grief comes in at a later time, ATs have to finish the game/event after a critical injury/event.



AT Cares reaches out once notified to ensure assistance is provided where needed



NATA Gather Program Integration:



Young professionals can use NATA’s gather program to find mentors. 



Crisis on campus - what is the best method to find that definite grief to counsel them?



Don’t counsel them. Listen. Refer out. 



Soapbox Warning - What is step 1 in managing the secondary loss of loved ones?



Have affairs in order. Have a will, have life insurance. Have your burial wishes written down. Have the conversation. Have a list of your account usernames and passwords. Know how many death certificates you may need. Legal Zoom is a good resource. Make sure you constantly update your affairs. The primary loss will be exacerbated if we don’t handle our affairs. 



Currently working on a presentation with AT Cares members regarding their experiences with loss and what they’ve learned along the way.



Thanks, Sydney Hayes for creating the Crisis Behavior show notes
