• Facilitate debriefing or group support sessions following critical incidents, when requested.
• Partner with Bancroft’s Crisis Response Team where appropriate, to support workplace incidents and events
• Serve as a trusted, neutral mental health resource within the organization, fostering psychological safety and resilience.
