How activation works?
When a critical incident occurs, ThoughtFull Crisis is designed to activate quickly and move your team from immediate stabilisation to structured support without adding operational burden to your stakeholders.
Step 1 - Request activation
Contact your Client Success team to initiate a crisis activation, share the incident context, and confirm urgency and immediate needs
Step 2 - Align on scope & format
We determine the right response plan, whether virtual or onsite, group and/or 1:1 sessions, number of impacted employees, preferred dates, and any practitioner requirements (e.g., language or cultural considerations).
Step 3 - Mobilise and deliver support
We coordinate ThoughtFull Professionals to deliver timely psychosocial support, including facilitated group sessions and/or individual sessions, plus grounding tools and coping guidance.
Step 4 - Close with recommendations
After delivery, you receive a post-activation report with session agenda, summary, observations, and recommended next steps to support ongoing recovery.

What you’ll receive after support

After the crisis activation is completed, you’ll receive a post-activation report that helps you understand what was delivered, what themes emerged, and what to do next, while keeping employee privacy and confidentiality front-of-mind.

Crisis support in action
From sudden loss to high-impact workplace incidents, ThoughtFull Crisis delivers timely, trauma-informed support: coordinated fast, delivered with care, and backed by clear post-activation recommendations.
Sudden employee death
What happened: An employee on holiday abroad was swept into a river and was missing for three days, creating prolonged uncertainty before news was communicated internally.

Who was affected: A mixed group of leadership and associates (38 people), including office-based roles responsible for team management, stakeholder communication, and business continuity while emotionally supporting colleagues.

Support delivered: ThoughtFull mobilised support once the news was released; support was delivered over 2 days, with separate onsite and virtual group sessions, facilitated by ThoughtFull Professionals.

If support isn’t implemented: Corporate teams often see rumour spirals, emotional spillover into decision-making, reduced psychological safety, and leadership burnout, which can quickly translate into miscommunication risk, morale decline, and higher absenteeism/attrition during an already sensitive period.
Severe onsite incident affecting frontline operations
What happened: A facility fire resulted in two severe injuries and one fatality, triggering concerns around fear, morale, and PTSD; for many staff, it was their first exposure to counselling/mental health support.

Who was affected: Approximately 30 factory workers working in high-risk operational roles where confidence returning to the site directly influence safety outcomes.

Support delivered: ThoughtFull mobilised onsite group counselling to process the incident, a short segment on PTSD symptom awareness, and fitness-for-work screening to identify employees most heavily affected; group and individual sessions were delivered across 2 days by ThoughtFull Professionals.

If support isn’t implemented: In frontline environments, unaddressed post-incident stress can escalate into hypervigilance, panic triggers, avoidance, conflict, and reduced attention, increasing the likelihood of safety lapses, delayed return-to-work, higher incident recurrence risk, and longer-term PTSD-related impairment, especially when teams must return to the same worksite.
3. Intervene
Deploy the right solutions at the right time. OMWA links each insight to tailored interventions, ranging from workshops and leader support to app-based resources and counselling, addressing issues at both individual and organisational levels.
4. Evaluate
Reassess to track progress and impact. Post-intervention results are compared against baseline scores, helping you measure effectiveness, refine strategies, and use flexible credits to deploy targeted therapy sessions or activation programmes that address your teams’ priority wellbeing needs.
