In the aftermath of domestic terrorism, Employee Assistance Programs and Behavioral Health Programs are incorporating comprehensive early intervention and prevention services into traditional workplace service models. Building and creating a resilient workforce has become a priority for many business and government agencies and best practices for doing so have become a matter of considerable debate.
