ASSISTING INDIVIDUALS in CRISIS is PHASE 1 of the process required to become a trained “Peer Support Responder”. This is a 2-day course of “Initial Peer Support Training” / Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) that is intermixed with additional wellness topics for new Peer Support members. This course is the foundation which prepares the student to provide Peer Support and Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) interventions (if needed) during Individual or “1 on 1” interactions.

GROUP CRISIS INTERVENTION is PHASE 2 of the “Initial Peer Support Training” / Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) and will be provided at a later date in this region. GROUP CRISIS INTERVENTION is also a 2-day course which prepares the Peer to provide CISM interventions of Critical Incident Stress Debriefings (CISD), Defusing, Crisis Management Briefings (CMB), and other strategies useful in Group situations. (NOTE: Prerequisite for Group Crisis Intervention training is the course Assisting Individuals in Crisis shown above.)

The need for appropriate follow-up services and referrals post-incident, when necessary, will also be discussed during these training courses.

This course is designed for First Responders and Mental Health Professionals who assist other First Responders and their families in dealing with job-related Stress and Trauma.
