Critical Incident Stress Debriefing
1. Overview:
Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) is an intervention that occurs on-site at your workplace following a traumatic event. Events may include robbery, downsizing, loss of a co-worker, workplace injuries, accidents, workplace shootings, terroristic threats, or other traumas. Addressing these incidents immediately can help you support your employees during these challenging times. Immediate action helps mitigate the stress and emotional turmoil that often accompany such events, thus fostering a more supportive and resilient work environment.
2. Purpose and Benefits:
The primary objective of CISD and Disruptive Event Management is to alleviate the psychological impact the event can have on your organization and its employees. Our on-site counselors are equipped to deliver immediate and practical support, crucial for managing emotional and psychological effects. Our counselors conduct tailored individual and group counseling sessions designed to address the immediate needs of your employees and facilitate their recovery. Offering this support helps to minimize disruptions and promotes a healthier work environment.
3. Logistics and Setup:
Preparing a quiet and private meeting area is essential for the counseling sessions to be effective. This designated space allows counselors to conduct their sessions with minimal disruption. Additionally, employees should be allocated enough time to engage with the counselors without feeling rushed. We offer individual and group counseling sessions, catering to different needs and preferences. We provide flexible contract options for your organization, including additional sessions if necessary. This flexibility ensures that ongoing support is available to address any prolonged or evolving needs, ultimately supporting the long-term well-being of your employees.
