The Value of Critical Incident Stress Management
Mental Health first aid matters -- it really helps.
First responders are exposed to particularly stressful situations, even matters of life and death, much more frequently than the general public. Such exposure can result in the erosion of physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being. Through proactive efforts of Critical Incident Stress Management, first responders, mental health professionals, faith-based workers, school personnel, and others are learning to care for one another in the first waves following a crisis. In addition, they are learning that private suffering does not have to be part of the job.
