Critical Incident

The I’ll Have What She’s Having (IHWSH) Keep Well Critical Incident Response Program in partnership with Champion Counseling deploys trauma specialists to food and beverage establishments in the aftermath of distressing or disruptive events to execute a proven, structured program. Our mission is to protect the emotional well-being of hospitality workers by ensuring they feel heard, safe, and supported as their return to the work environment can be triggering.

IHWSH recognizes that the cost of professional crisis-response services often renders them inaccessible to small businesses who operate on small margins. Our program design is informed by research in 2024 and incidents that occurred in 2025, spurring requests for these services.
