With more than 30 years of experience in management, administrative and technical positions in both the public and private sectors, Barski-Carrow recently published, “When Trauma Survivors Return to Work – Understanding Emotional Recovery: A Handbook for Managers and Co-Workers.”

“It’s a simple educational solution to the often poor quality of workplace treatment of people who have experienced a traumatic event and are returning to their jobs,” she said.

Barski-Carrow interviewed scores of survivors who’ve returned to work, including workers whose family members have been killed, victims of violent crimes and those recovering from surgeries.

Next week, Barksi-Carrow will launch her new book at a signing and meet-and-greet at Milton Theatre. The public is invited to speak with Barski-Carrow from 7 to 9 p.m., Thursday, July 29, for a reception, including musical guest Charity Case.

In June 2003, Barski-Carrow was featured in a Wall Street Journal article for her expertise in workplace issues. She also served as acting director of the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity, and designed and implemented sexual harassment training for more than 1,200 employees.

In her book’s step-by-step approach, she shows company owners, managers and co-workers simple ways to make the workplace a better environment for emotional healing.

Her book offers a well-researched way to provide basic skills, including absorbing stories for dealing with workers and workplace trauma.

Barski-Carrow says there’s always hope for regaining footing after a worker has experienced violent crimes or life-threatening illnesses.

With her tool, recovery is made easier, she said.

“I’m convinced, if you know what you want, you’ll get it,” she said.

Barski-Carrow will sign copies of “When Trauma Survivors Return to Work,” from 7 to 9 p.m., Thursday, July 29, at the Milton Theatre.
