Who Should Attend:
The Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) - Peer Support Training Seminar is highly recommended to anyone who wishes to know more about workplace crisis intervention strategies, or for those involved in peer support or trauma counseling for high-risk commercial, institutional, school districts, government, military and community organizations.

CISM Training Courses:

"Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM): Crisis Intervention for the Workplace and Community."

CISM Training courses are presented as interactive workshops designed to help public and private sector employees and mental health professionals in their understanding of a wide range of peer support crisis intervention services. CISM Training helps prepare participants to effectively provide these interventions, specifically after tragic or catastrophic events in the workplace or community.

In addition to informative lectures, all CISM Training agendas include extensive "hands-on" practical skills training and coaching, with outstanding presentations facilitated by experienced instructors. In addition, an overview of a working-model CISM protocol provides valuable insight to the structure and operation of a typical CISM program.

The CISM Training curriculum meets or exceeds all requirements and standards as set forth by the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, Inc (ICISF). Participants receive an official ICISF Certificate of Attendance and become eligible for Continuing Education Credit (CEUs) upon completion of a course.

Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM): Basic Group Crisis Intervention.

The Basic CISM Training agenda is designed to present the core elements of a comprehensive, systematic and multi-component crisis intervention curriculum. The course helps prepare participants to provide a wide range of crisis intervention services including: pre and post incident crisis education, spousal/significant other support, on-scene support, crisis intervention for individuals, demobilization after large scale traumatic events, small group defusing and the group intervention known as Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD). The need for appropriate follow-up, professional referrals and peer limitations is also described.

Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM): Advanced Group Crisis Intervention.

The Advanced CISM Training agenda is designed to provide participants with the latest information on Critical Incident Stress Management techniques and post-trauma syndromes. The program emphasizes a broadening of the knowledge base concerning critical incident stress interventions as well as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder established in the Basic program and/or publications. Specifically, the program addresses concepts that are the foundation of Defusings and Critical Incident Stress Debriefings (CISD) with an emphasis on advanced techniques for complex crisis situations. In addition, this course discusses the pathological consequences of traumatic stress and the theoretical basis and research evidence regarding CISM. (Note: The course does not provide Basic CISM instruction. Completion of a Basic CISM course should be pre-requisite for attendance).
