Having read the document, I welcome it. However, I am struck by the fact that it is aimed at those who occasionally have to interact with sensitive and harmful content as opposed to those who have to do so on a daily basis. There is a an urgent need for the HSA to develop additional content for those who deal with this on a daily basis as opposed to when it happens incidentally, in the course of a person's work. There is certainly much more work to be done to expand on this document. However, I welcome it as a starting point.
