Critical Incident Response Training Series

When tragedy strikes, those involved face the predictable symptoms characterizing traumatic stress. Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) has been found to mitigate the impact of traumatic stress and facilitate individual and organizational recovery. Developed by Crisis Care Network, this training series provides a comprehensive guide to those organizing and delivering crisis response services. Consistent with the National Institute of Mental Health's standards for "psychological first aid", this four volume set centers around a dramatized workplace shooting case study and outlines an effective phase-sensitive, multi-component response. Combining didactic and role play demonstrations specific to the case study, each volume equips the learner to gain a thorough understanding of crisis response tools.

Volume 1, Overview
The first of four in Crisis Care Network's video training series, Volume 1 dramatizes a workplace shooting and outlines crisis management intervention strategies used to help employees recover and return to work and life. This volume addresses the importance of applying the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) standards for "psychological first aid" and presents Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) as a best practices approach to the delivery of NIMH-recommended phasic, multi-component services. The continuum of CISM services and its component interventions are described for application within various circles of impact.

Volume 2, The Crisis Management Briefing
The Crisis Management Briefing (CMB) serves as a helpful intervention for large groups of individuals who have been secondarily traumatized. This video contains three component parts:

  • a didactic presentation outlining most effective use of the CMB
  • a dramatized workplace shooting for use as a case study
  • a CMB demonstration specific to the case study.

Volume 3, The Defusing
Typically occurring within the first 12 hours of a tragedy, the defusing is a small group intervention for those immediately impacted by the event. This video contains three component parts:

  • a didactic presentation outlining timing, goals, structure, and techniques
  • a dramatized workplace shooting for use as a case study
  • a defusing demonstration specific to the case study.

Volume 4, The Debriefing
The most commonly recognized CISM tool, the debriefing is a small group intervention held 24-72 hours following the conclusion of the traumatic incident. This video contains three component parts:

  • a didactic presentation outlining timing, goals, structure, and techniques
  • a dramatized workplace shooting for use as a case study
  • a debriefing demonstration specific to the case study.
