Have you ever participated in a crisis debriefing session? Informal survey opportunity


Crisis debriefing can take a few different forms and there are several models of crisis or critical incident stress debriefing. These interventions can be helpful to some but for others it can be harmful. Still, they are very popular. I’m participating in the development of a crisis intervention CE program. If you have participated in a crisis debrief session (participated, not led), would you consider completing this informal and anonymous survey? It should take 2-4 minutes to complete. While the results won’t be empirical, they may give us a better picture of common experiences.

I’ll post a link to the results when we have them.

Helping children after disaster: A webinar


Over my many years of trauma care training, I can say that the most frequent question I get is something like, “do you have anything about caring for kids after (or during) traumatic events and disasters. And usually, the answer is there isn’t much. So, in light of that, if you are interested in knowing more about helping kids in a state of crisis and after a disaster, check out this webinar by my colleagues Stacey Sutherland and Misty Bodkins. Free with a suggested donation. When? Nov 21, 7-8:30 EST.

This is the abstract of what they intend to present:
