We all experience problems at one time or another. Sometimes supervisors become aware that an employee is having emotional or psychological issues. What can an employer do to help?

Our qualified staff of licensed psychologists and counselors is trained and highly skilled in a variety of areas, including:

• Trauma Response
• Violence Risk Assessment
• Fitness-For-Duty Evaluations
• Employee Assistance Counseling

We provide state-of-the-art training programs and interventions designed to give employees and managers the skills to address difficult workplace issues successfully. We provide caring, competent and results-oriented services of the highest caliber to enable employees to function at their most effective level.

Workplace Violence Consultation Services and Threat Assessment
In this day and age, it is not uncommon for situations to arise in which an employer needs assistance in dealing with a difficult or potentially dangerous employee. Our experts are available on a 24-hour basis for emergencies and crisis situations. We assist in assessing and intervening with instances in which an employee has demonstrated potential for engaging in actions that could be destructive to an organization's customers, employees or property.

We offer practical guidance to professionals who are faced with such choices as whether to reprimand, take disciplinary action, suspend or terminate. Additionally, our licensed psychologists are trained to administer psychological tests, evaluate findings and offer recommendations for appropriate action in these specialized cases. Baron Center, Inc. also offers referrals for security and legal assistance, when necessary, as well as follow-up services.

Trauma Response
When tragedy strikes a work site, we provide caring, effective and immediate intervention. Our expertise includes assisting employees following robberies, workplace assault/homicide and unexpected illness, injury or death of an employee. Our staff includes licensed mental health professionals trained specifically in trauma response. We also assist management and human resource professionals in coordinating continuing care, when necessary. Our focus is on brief, collaborative intervention in both individual and group formats. Additionally, we tailor our interventions to the characteristics of the specific incident and the demographics of the workforce.

Fitness-for-Duty and Psychological Evaluations
When the ability of an employee to engage in the duties of the job becomes compromised due to mental illness or psychological trauma, the health and safety of both the employee and the organization as a whole become a central issue. Our licensed psychologists provide comprehensive assessments to determine whether an employee is psychologically able to remain on the job or ready to safely return to work following a leave of absence.

Sexual Harassment Awareness Training
When an individual within an organization is identified as engaging in sexual harassment or other hostile behavior, the ramifications for the organization can be costly. We offer individualized, one-on-one awareness training to educate about the types of behavior considered to be sexual harassment, with an emphasis on increasing consciousness about the emotional and interpersonal dynamics associated with this type of behavior and preventing further harassment. Additional focus is placed on providing practical information about the legal and organizational issues related to sexual harassment and on developing appropriate and effective ways of communicating.

Additional Training Programs
Baron Center, Inc. also offers training programs that address various interpersonal workplace issues, including:

• Anger Management
• Stress Management
• Conflict Resolution

Training sessions are offered for groups or individuals, and are tailored to meet the situational needs of the organization. For more selections see our Training page.
