What
is TSN?
The Trauma Support
Network (TSN) is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative initiative
to help the people of greater Kansas City after a traumatic loss.
The
event responsible for the loss could be a terrorist attack, a
random drive-by shooting or a suicide. The effects of 'critical
events'
or victims and witnesses have the potential to lead to a variety
of spiritual, mental and physical health issues if not properly addressed.
The TSN, which works closely with law enforcement agencies, has built
a network of trained professionals and volunteers. TSN team
members are available to respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to
those affected by a traumatic event who need support, interventions
or related services. Support may be offered at the time
of the critical incident and/or weeks or even months following
the
event. The TSN is also committed to providing education and training
for
the general public and the professional community on traumatic
grief and critical incident stress.
