Description

This 3-day course, combines Assisting Individuals in Crisis and Group Crisis Intervention. These 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.
