Members of the crisis management team handling the case are likely to have been through a difficult and stressful time. They should be considered for counselling and support. It can also be helpful to bring this team together for a lessons learned session. This can be beneficial to their recovery post event, as well as providing an opportunity to learn lessons and make recommendations for the future. The individuals supporting the hostage’s family will also need support, as will the returning hostage’s point of contact. It is important not to forget staff who work in the same environment as the hostage. Some may experience feelings of ‘victim guilt’; that it could or should have been them that was abducted. WHILE YOUR FOCUS IS RIGHTFULLY ON THE RETURNING HOSTAGE, DON’T FORGET OTHERS IN THE ORGANISATION THAT MAY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE EVENT
