Advanced Group Crisis Intervention

This CISM Advanced Group Crisis Intervention course builds on the foundational concepts in the Group Crisis Intervention course. Emphasis will be on Crisis Management Briefings (CMB), Defusing and Critical Incident Stress Debriefings (CISD) in complex situations. This course includes responding to suicide of a co-worker, line of duty death, line of duty injury, and delayed CISM support to critical incidents. CISM is a model of peer support crisis intervention.

Topics include:

· Strategic intervention planning

· Comprehensive, integrated, systematic and multi-component CISM

· Concepts of enhanced group processes

· Significantly delayed interventions

· “Multiple incident CISD”

· Suicide of a colleague

· Small group crisis support sessions after a disaster
