Since AFPAD’s creation, our members regularly describe the challenges they face when returning to work after the murder or the disapperance of their loved one. Not only does work represent a financial necessity, but it’s also our daily environment. Presented in a practical format, the “Guide for Returning to Work after a Tragic event” applies to employers, Human Ressources Departments, unions, profesionnals in an employment setting, colleagues and the employee returning to work.
