• Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM)
  A critical incident in the workplace is a sudden, traumatic event that is overwhelming, emotionally charged and often dangerous. This might include the following:
  • Natural Disasters
  • Robberies
  • Assaults or threats of assaults
  • Workplace violence
  • Bomb threats
  • Death or injury on the job
  • Sudden, unexpected death of a co-worker

CISM is an organized approach to the management of stress responses for first responders involved in a critical incident.  The goal is to help the people involved in the crisis talk about their feelings and reactions to the incident.  This intervention is also utilized to prevent disorders that may develop as a result of traumatic stress, such as post-traumatic stress disorder.  It is a tool that can be helpful in identifying personnel that may need to be referred for further services, to facilitate verbalization of experiences, to normalize reactions to stressful events and improve peer support and cohesion.

• Crisis Response
  Crisis response is the process where the therapist helps guide and process the response to a crisis, validating feelings, identifying self-care practices and processing the impact of the crisis.

• Grief
  Grief is a natural part of our life cycle. But regardless, when it happens, it is often is harder and more difficult than anticipated.  Having support through the process can ensure movement through the grief in a healthy way. Grief therapy focuses on guiding a person through acknowledging their feelings after a loss.
