Homicides (458) accounted for 61.9 percent of violent acts and 8.7 percent of all work-related fatalities.
Psychological research has consistently shown a significant rise in mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression across all adult age groups since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although COVID-19 rates have subsided, mental health disorders and the increased demand for psychological services have not.
Our History
Our company, originally established in 1983 as The Stress Center, has served the nuclear power industry for over four decades, providing nuclear unescorted access psychological assessments.
In January 2022, the company, now named Critical Assessments has expanded our clinical services beyond the nuclear power generation to business and industry nationwide, and more importantly, developed a consultation practice that offers a real and profound benefit to the companies and organizations we serve.
We have built our consultative practice with the addition of staff with expertise in violence prevention and workplace safety programs, substance abuse training programs, and commercial nuclear policy. This has positioned us to become a national and international resource for nuclear power companies and other organizations regarding ongoing case and program consultation, as well as staff training and development.
These changes to our business jumpstarted the successful expansion of our services beyond the nuclear industry, and we are to able assist other safety-focused organizations by implementing and improving their behavioral health and substance abuse education programs. As a further extension of these services, we offer leadership and team development assessments.
We are proud of what we have accomplished and what we offer our clients. Our team is focused on helping companies and organizations operate safely, perform to their fullest capacity, and promote a successful workplace culture.
