Government Agencies are not exempt from the same incidents that occur in the private sector. Hierarchical structures or complex chains of command often provide cover to those who abuse.  Workplace abuse in government agencies is all too common and it leaves a permanent negative impact on everyone: the victim, offender, and the organizational culture. Mental health problems such as depression, eating disorders, PTSD, self-harm and suicidal thoughts are all symptoms of abuse and neglect.  ICIARA’s mission is to reduce the trauma of abuse by allowing everyone to quickly and anonymously report incidents.
