Mental Health in Workplaces When Disaster Strikes - with Charmaine Hammond
In this episode, host Kim MacDonald talks with guest Charmaine Hammond about her work with companies and organizations following traumatic events that change a community in unimaginable ways. When a natural disaster or disaster of human making happens, company leaders, employees, families, and friends find themselves under enormous emotional, psychological, physical, and financial stress. Finding a way back to normal and managing the impact of external factors on the workplace climate, working conditions, and mental health of employees, is a challenge many organizations are not ready to manage. Using the wildfires in Fort McMurray as a case study Charmaine will talk about the kinds of shifts that are needed in these circumstances, the psychological health and safety environment and risk factors that were impacted, and what organizations need to do to prepare when being trauma-informed becomes central to the daily operations. She will also share some of the best actions companies took and how they impacted mental health in the workplace and the company's role in managing during and in the years following the event.
Here is a link to the incredible animated short that aims to raise awareness about mental health, through the eyes of woodland creatures coming back home after the Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo wildfires, released in July 2023:
