Critical Incident Stress Debriefing

Critical Incident Stress Debriefing is a specific technique designed to assist employees in dealing with the physical or psychological symptoms that are generally associated with trauma exposure. Research on the effectiveness of CISD has demonstrated that individuals who are provided CISD within a 24-72 hour period after the initial critical incident experience less short-term and long-term crisis reactions or psychological trauma. An immediate response is vital to minimizing the devastating effects of such critical incidents on both the employees and the organization. AssistNow's trained clinicians can provide this immediate, on-site support to employees exposed to a traumatic incident, and help reduce the impact by addressing responses such as:

• Anger
• Flashbacks or "reliving" the event
• Hyperactivity or "nervous energy"
• Inability to concentrate, many errors at work
• Insomnia/nightmares
