CISM: Critical Incident Group Management

The CISM: Critical Incident Group Management training program is designed to present the core elements of a comprehensive, systematic and multi-component crisis intervention curriculum. The two day course prepares participants to understand a wide range of crisis intervention services including pre and post incident crisis education, significant other support services, on-scene support services, crisis intervention for individuals, demobilizations after large scale traumatic incidents, small group defusings and the group intervention known as Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD).

The CISM: Critical Incident Group Management course prepares participants to provide several of these interventions, specifically demobilizations, defusings and the CISD. The need for appropriate follow up services and referrals when necessary is also described. Considerable evidence gathered to date strongly supports the multi-component crisis intervention strategy, which is discussed in this course.

* Completion of The CISM: Critical Incident Group Management class and receipt of a certificate indicating full attendance (14 Contact Hours) qualifies as a CORE class in ICISF’s Certificate of Specialized Training Program.
