What will I learn?
This course covers the full integrated Critical Incident Stress Management system, from the physiological stress response to strategic program planning. You will learn to deliver psychological first aid, facilitate defusings and seven-phase debriefings, and conduct individual crisis interventions using the SAFER-R model. The curriculum addresses large-group and organizational interventions, including Crisis Management Briefings and demobilization procedures for mass-casualty events. You will also develop competency in suicide risk assessment, referral procedures, and trauma-informed communication across diverse responder populations. Supplementary content covers practitioner self-care, resilience science, family support systems, and the use of digital tools in CISM delivery.
