Critical Incident Stress Debriefing
Healthcare workers are not always good at diagnosing their own physical and emotional trauma. They don’t need to be on the “front line” to be impacted by the loss of loved ones or patients during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Those who manage or supervise employees at hospitals, nursing homes or other healthcare facilities need to know what to look for to make sure their staff members are not reaching distress over the losses they see on a daily basis.
This virtual workshop (delivered via Zoom) is designed to demonstrate how to conduct a Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD). The purpose of such an intervention is to lessen the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral impact that trauma has on individuals and work groups. This is an interactive program, and participants will be expected to contribute during the CISD demonstration and either respond to their own experiences related to the pandemic or role-play the experiences of frontline personnel.
Everyone processes traumatic events differently, and we are here to help you.
