Recognizing Critical Incident Stress
Critical incidents may produce a wide
range of stress symptoms, which can
appear immediately at the scene, a few
hours later or within a few days of the
event.
The more symptoms experienced, the
more powerful the stress reaction can
be. The longer the symptoms last, the
more potential there is for permanent
harm.
When to request Critical Incident Stress
Management Services?
Feel free to call Starpoint about the
need for services any time you or one
of your fellow workers are having
difficulty dealing with an incident or
when the nature of the incident
suggests that intervention might be
useful.
The main objective of a debriefing is
the restoration of human dignity and
self worth to people who are
experiencing normal reactions and
normal symptoms of distress because
they were exposed to a highly
abnormal event - a Critical Incident to
them.
A Critical Incident Stress Debriefing
(CISD) is a group interaction where a
team of trained people allow
employees to talk about their thoughts,
actions and reactions to a stressful
event. A CISD is not group therapy and
is not a critique of the event. The
information shared in a debriefing is
strictly confidential. A CISD is a time to
learn what are normal expected
behaviors and feelings following a
stressful event and to receive
assurance that you are experiencing a
normal reaction to an abnormal event.
Critical Incidents:
A critical incident is any situation faced
by a person which causes them to
experience unusually strong emotional
reactions which have the potential to
interfere with their ability to function
either at the scene or later.
Some examples of critical incidents
include: suicide, loss by death of a
fellow employee, serious injury of an
emergency provider, prolonged
events, injury or death of children,
mass casualty incidents, and natural
disasters.
