The Psychosocial Shift: Why Support Can’t Wait Until Monday
Some people work in spreadsheets.
Others work inside trauma.
Introducing The Psychosocial Shift — a new podcast sponsored by VUCA Risk, exploring the human realities behind psychosocial harm and what needs to change.
In Episode 1, crisis responder Grant Killen joins Anthony Moorhouse to take listeners inside the world of frontline domestic and family violence — the homes where harm happens, the silence after impact, the places where children hide.
It’s confronting. It’s important.
And it’s the reality that now intersects directly with workplace safety and responsibility.
Because psychosocial risk isn’t a policy topic - it’s a lived experience.
*Safety Assist delivers real-time psychosocial crisis response, not delayed support.
Inside the Episode: The Human Side of Risk
Every day across Australia, people like Grant respond to crises that unfold behind closed doors — where fear, isolation, and escalation happen long before help arrives.
In this conversation, he and Anthony unpack what the first hours after an incident really look like:
The calls that come too late.
The decisions made in chaos.
The psychological and emotional toll that follows.
They discuss why traditional systems — HR, EAP, police, and legal frameworks — are stretched thin, and how that gap between care and capability puts both people and organisations at risk.
Why This Matters to Businesses
The ripple effects of trauma don’t end at home. They follow people to work — in their focus, their relationships, their wellbeing, and their safety.
That’s why psychosocial safety has become more than a compliance requirement; it’s a business imperative.
VUCA Risk’s Safety Assist program was designed for exactly these moments — providing real-time, insurer-backed crisis support that activates within minutes when harm occurs, protecting both people and reputation.

About the Podcast
The Psychosocial Shift explores the intersection between human crisis and corporate responsibility, bringing together voices from frontline responders, mental health experts, and business leaders to reframe how we think about psychosocial safety in 2025 and beyond.
It’s not just a podcast — it’s a movement to help organisations see risk differently.
Because the world doesn’t pause for policy.
When something goes wrong, businesses need more than empathy — they need a system that acts.
That’s what VUCA Risk was built to deliver.
