Critical Incident Stress Debriefing

Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) is a form of psychological first aid that is designed to help individuals cope with the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event. It is typically used in emergency services, such as law enforcement, firefighting, and emergency medical services, as well as military personnel and other first responders.

​

The goal of CISD is to provide support and assistance to individuals who have been exposed to traumatic events. It is a short-term, time-limited intervention that is typically conducted within 72 hours of the event. The debriefing process is led by a trained facilitator and involves a structured group discussion of the event.

​

CISD is designed to help individuals process the event, reduce their emotional and psychological distress, and promote coping and resilience. It is intended to be a preventative measure and can help reduce the risk of developing more serious mental health issues such as PTSD.

​

CISD can be a valuable resource for military members, first responders, and other individuals who have been exposed to traumatic events. It is important to note that it should not be used as a substitute for professional mental health treatment, but rather as a way to provide immediate support and assistance to those in need.
