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 100 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, Antioch/Alameda/Concord/Daly City/Fairfield/Fremont/Hayward/Livermore/Newark/Pleasant Hill/San Francisco/San Jose/Union City/Vacaville/Walnut Creek Police Departments, the Contra Costa/Sacramento/San Joaquin Sheriff’s Offices, as well as numerous federal first-responder and civilian agencies.
