We Help Make Bad Things Right
We will train your staff, conveying knowledge and specific skill sets to mitigate crises. Our objectives are met when your organization is well.
Our Team of Trainers are all experienced frontline first responders who address mental health emergencies, provide trauma-informed education, and execute crisis management.
Expert-Led Training for Crisis Preparedness
Crisis intervention is a specialized acute emergency mental health intervention that 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, we prepare participants to understand various crisis intervention services for individuals and groups.
We provide high-value professional critical incident stress management (CISM) training to industries potentially impacted by significant stressors. We frame courses using modern neuroscience emphasizing active listening, clarifying statements, and self-directed knowledge that assist in shaping positive narratives. Purposefully chosen speech triggers neurotransmitter and hormonal responses facilitating positive changes leading to cognitive and emotional recovery and health. We are proud to provide University-based certifications in the field of CISM and psychological crisis intervention. We are located In Toronto, Canada, and have affiliates across the U.S.A
Benefits of our CISM training to your Organization
Programs based on the ICISF-CISM model of peer support have been shown to increase resistance to the psychological effects of stress and critical incidents, foster resiliency by equipping personnel with the skills needed to “bounce back” to their normal functional levels, and inherent in any CISM program is addressing recovery through adaptive functioning or a seamless link to additional supports and services to address their specific needs.
Whether new to the role or after many years of service, any incident, regardless of magnitude, can have significant negative impacts on a persons mental well-being. Having a network of trained peers accessible 24-7:
- Decreases lost time arising from psychological injury.
- Reduces the impact of psychological injuries.
- Increases public safety personnel’s length of service to their communities.
- Lowers attrition by helping to manage extreme workplace stress.
- Addresses the increased risk of suicide.
- Provides for healthier work and personal lives.
- Helps to support and educate spouses and families of public safety personnel.
