Overview
Psychological trauma and acute psychological crises are virtually epidemic. Large-scale crises can include: accidents, disasters, terrorism, political unrest, economic fluctuations, school violence, workplace violence, or traumatic loss such as suicide. Traumatic response can follow experiencing these or other events that impact school communities. Group Crisis Response skills are integral in mitigating negative effects and monitoring individuals over time. Designated by SAMHSA as an evidence-based crisis response model.
Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) is a comprehensive, practical, integrated, systematic and multicomponent approach to responding to traumatic events. Certification in delivery of three Group Crisis Response skills is received.
