Critical Incident Stress Debriefing

The critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) is actually a good idea especially when individuals work in an environment that they would be exposed to traumatic events. Post traumatic stress disorder doesn’t only occur on the battle field, but also occurs due to traumatic events that law enforcement, fire persons, and first responders encounter out in the field. Providing these men and women with an outlet allows them to express or overcome the trauma they witnessed. It is more of the psychological damage than the physical when it come to a crisis incident. Understanding that the benefit of a CISD can save the life of the men and women traumatized by a traumatic event.
