Traumatic Event Support
Human Resources understands that many of us are ill-prepared to handle traumatic workplace events such as death, assault, or other crisis situations. We provide support to both individuals and teams who need assistance during trying times.
E-mail HRResources for Teams
Managers who want assistance helping their team manage a traumatic workplace event should contact HR at hrdept@ku.edu or 785-864-4946. Trained staff members are available to meet with your team members individually and as a group.
Resources for Individuals
Employees seeking information about community providers of grief management or crisis intervention support services can utilize the state's Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The EAP is a confidential, free service that provides benefits-eligible employees and their immediate family members with professional counseling and referral services. For more information, please go to Employee Assistance Program or call 888-270-8897. Questions may also be emailed to SEHPhealthquest@ks.gov.
