Crisis Intervention is NOT psychotherapy; rather, it is a specialized acute emergency mental health intervention which requires specialized training. As physical first aid is to surgery, crisis intervention is to psychotherapy. Thus, crisis intervention is sometimes called “emotional first aid.” Designed to present the core elements of a comprehensive, systematic, and multi- component crisis intervention curriculum, this course will prepare participants to understand a wide range of crisis intervention services for both the individual and for groups.
Fundamentals of Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) will be outlined, and participants will leave with the knowledge and tools to provide several group crisis interventions, specifically demobilizations, defusing, and Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD). The need for appropriate follow-up services and referrals, when necessary, will also be discussed.

No one knows the people in your agency better than you do. That means, no one is in a better position to provide support and assistance than you are. CISM training gives you the skills you need to be there for a brother or sister in need. Hosting CISM training at your agency is the most cost-effective way to prepare your people to help one another.
Assisting Individuals in Crisis and Group Crisis Intervention are the two core CISM courses offered through the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF). These two courses are taught in a combined 3-day format.
The cost of training is paid on a per-student basis with no additional expenses to your agency (cost includes registration, materials, travel, fees, etc.). In fact, as a “thank you” for hosting, your agency will receive one free seat! The target class size is 20-40 and can include students from other agencies.
Training held in Florida costs $325 per student. For training held out of Florida, per-student costs will need to be discussed due to additional travel expenses.
