>> At some point I'm going to ask someone to sit down with me and record or transcribe while I read them aloud so I can bring those resources back home... <<
Oh wow, I didn't even think of that because I don't podcast, but it would be really useful to have these things on audio. I'll ask if any of my readers are interested in doing that.
>> Though I've already asked two people to remind me to look for resources there too. The place where I'm from is great at medical care, okayish for sexual health and LGBTQ stuff, but lacking in EFA despite people regularly getting into situations where they would need it. :/ I'm a medic there so it's reasonably possible that I can start filling in the gaps. <<
It would be so awesome of you to step up! \o/ In professional settings, some useful terms might include:
Trauma-informed care -- phrase EFA as a way to take care of traumatized clients, which reduces the chance of them having a flareup that could bother the staff, and increases the chance of good outcome for the clients.
Peer support -- phrase EFA as a way for staff to take care of each other after upsetting events, which will minimize the impact on other staff members, improve efficiency, and reduce the chance of it developing into something that might keep people home from work.
Client-centered care -- a fairly new fashion in health care and social work, spreading from a few styles such as Rogerian therapy that have always done it this way; means asking people to set their own goals and supporting them in that pursuit. This is useful if your workplace is trying to improve customer satisfaction.
Efficiency and affordability -- starting EFA is simple, cheap, easy, and effective. It only costs significant time/money if you work up to more advanced measures like sending someone for training so they can actually staff an EFA room. In any case, EFA helps a business run smoother and deal with small upsets before they become big problems. Everyone loves things that save money and avoid hassles.
