Welcome to BrolinWestrell

Crisis management, leadership & HR support

BrolinWestrell AB offers three main services: leadership development; crisis management and crisis support; psychotherapy and counselling. Their services spring from the combination of their differing experiences: the psychotherapist’s unique knowledge of human behaviour, the management supervisor’s feel for leadership and the crisis manager’s experience of extreme situations. It is their conviction that these are experiences that combine to make a real difference.

Crisis management

BrolinWestrell has a broad experience of work in the public sector as well as in the private industry. Since the turn of the century, their employees have worked with advanced crisis management and crisis support in Swedish business, e.g. after the 9/11 events in New York and the tsunamis in Asia in 2004 and 2011, as well as after work place accidents, robberies, threats, and irregularities. The work has consisted of strategic leadership as well as interventions aimed at victims and others directly affected.

Network

Apart from their employees, BrolinWestrell has created a network of subconsultants in the Nordic countries, consisting of psychologists and psychotherapists selected for their personal suitability and competency. Furthermore, BrolinWestrell cooperates with an international crisis support provider and can thus offer crisis support in all European countries and in most locations throughout the world.

BrolinWestrell offers high quality services, personal communication with the customer, and great response capacity. BrolinWestrell’s co-workers have for a number of years been leading the renewal of the practical applications of crisis management and crisis support in Swedish business. BrolinWestrell follows research in the field of crisis management and psychological trauma, and the methods used comply with the national guidelines developed in several countries in recent years.

Three Intertwined Services

Our services spring from the combination of our differing experiences: the psychotherapist’s unique knowledge of human behaviour, the management supervisor’s feel for leadership and the crisis manager’s experience of extreme situations. We believe that these are experiences that combine to make a real difference.

Part 2, including chapters 3-5, gives an in-depth presentation of acute crisis reactions as well as more prolonged problems and symptoms.
Part 3, chapters 6-9, describes treatment and interventions from several perspectives: general guidelines, social support, the role of the manager, and professional intervention
Part 4, chapter 10, focuses on leadership during crises.
Part 5, chapters 11-15, describe preventive work in businesses and organizations. Chapter 16 is a concluding reflection on the existential aspects of crises.
