This 2-day course, combined with the Assisting Individuals in Crisis course, comprises the two basic foundational courses for Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), a process created to equip participants in providing basic, initial care for people who have experienced a critical incident. It is a form of “psychological or emotional first aid” designed to begin the process of helping individuals, using different group techniques, cope better with these incidents. Crisis Intervention is NOT psychotherapy or a substitute for psychotherapy, but rather a specialized, acute, emergency mental health intervention that follows specific protocols and requires specialized training. Program Highlights •Relevant research findings •Relevant recommendations for practice •Incident assessment •Strategic intervention planning •“Resistance, resilience, recovery” continuum •Informational group crisis interventions (RITS & CMB) •Interactional group crisis interventions (Defusing & CISD) •Possible adverse outcomes associated with crisis intervention •Reducing inadvertent risks •Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) Contact Tmartin@ncttrac.org if you have questions.
