Basic CISM Training

Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM): Basic Group Crisis Intervention. The Basic CISM Training program 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, mobilization and 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. Evidence gathered to date strongly supports the multi-component intervention strategy that is discussed in this course.
