Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Classes



Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) is a multi-component, comprehensive approach to early trauma intervention which is internationally accepted and clinically proven. 
 


CISM training is essential for anyone who may be called upon to to provide support in their school, community or place of business in the event of a tragedy. 



A well-trained team of mental health professionals and peers working together can mean the difference between an organization that shuts down and one that recovers rapidly following a traumatic event.



CISM classes are approved by the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation.  Classes may be offered as part of comprehensive consulting services or as stand-alone trainings.

Training workshops and webinars are a great way to get custom crisis training for your staff.

This program is designed for teach participants the fundamentals of, and a specific protocol for, individual crisis intervention.
