Description

This 2-day course, combined with the Assisting Individuals in Crisis course (will take place prior to this course November 13th - 14th, 2024), comprise 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. Please be sure to register for both courses. Please contact Madison Sims at msims@ncttrac.org if you have any questions!
