Critical Incident Stress Management Pre-Incident; 2019 Annual Conference

Course overview

The International Critical Incident Stress Foundation's curriculum for Group Crisis Intervention (14 contact hours) identifies Pre-incident Education as an essential element on the Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) continuum by providing information before an actual exposure to or reaction following a traumatic event. Addressing both traumatic and cumulative stress in the first responder, it emphasizes the normalcy of certain reactions, how peer support is necessary and when clinical support is needed.
