Mental Health for Engineers, Air Traffic Control , pilots?

Is there any area or type of a psychologist or other end professional that deals specifically with burned out engineers that are in or have left the company due to these issues.





how can a company salvage the talent and help the employee at the same time ?

Industrial-Organizational (I/O) psychologists deal with employee functioning within an organization. So, that would be the answer to ';salvage the talent and help the employee at the same time.';





As for dealing with on-the-job stress, this tends to fall more to the EAP (Employee Assistant Person), if the company has one. The person is usually some sort of mental health professional. Otherwise, the person should go to a therapist outside work.





I don't know about air traffic controllers or engineers, but some stressful professions, such as firemen and law enforcement, have at-job access to mental health resources, at least in bigger cities.
