GROUP CRISIS INTERVENTION

This training is certified by the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation. Church members, chaplains, counselors, mental health professionals, and pastors all benefit from these practical guidelines and strategies for people-care in times of need.

Course Description

This is a certified course registered with the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (www.icisf.org). The Group Crisis Intervention training presents the core elements of a comprehensive crisis intervention curriculum. The three-day course prepares participants to understand a wide range of crisis intervention and chaplaincy services, including pre- and post-incident crisis education, significant other support services, on-scene support services, crisis intervention for individuals after large-scale traumatic incidents, small-group defusings, and the group intervention known as Critical Incident Stress Debriefing. The Group Crisis Intervention course specifically prepares participants to provide all of these interventions after traumatic incidents, wherein a group or community of people have been impacted. The Group Crisis Intervention class and receipt of a certificate indicating full attendance qualifies as a CORE class in ICISF’s Certificate of Specialized Training Program.
