title: Using study circles in the workplace as an educational method of facilitating readjustment after a traumatic life experience.
abstract: While employees who have undergone a traumatic life experience (TLE) are often referred for counseling and therapy, most organizations do not prepare managers and co-workers for the unique issues posed by TLE employees when they first return to the workplace. The Study Circle, a "democratic," interactive adult learning format, is introduced to make up for this lack by educating managers and co-workers about the various stages in the trauma recovery process and teaching them how to facilitate a TLE employee's re-entry to the workplace.
