Critical Incident Stress Management
Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) is a comprehensive, integrated crisis intervention program. It includes a range of support services to assist individuals and organizations in responding to critical incidents and natural disasters. These services include:
- Pre-incident planning, preparation, and training
- Crisis assessment and strategic planning
- Individual and group crisis interventions
- Family support services
- Post-incident training
I have provided over 200 CISM services to federal, state, county and local law enforcement and fire service agencies throughout Arizona, California and Florida. These agencies have included: the California Highway Patrol, the Contra Costa/Sacramento/San Joaquin Sheriff’s Offices, numerous federal law enforcement and civilian agencies, as well as the following northern California police departments: Antioch, Alameda, Concord, Daly City, Fairfield, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Newark, Pleasant Hill, San Francisco, San Jose, Union City, Vacaville, and Walnut Creek.
