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.

“Improving the Bottom Line: Supporting Treatment Profits Employers and Employees” In 2002, drug use disorders alone contributed to a loss of productivity in the workplace amounting to $128.6 billion in the United States. Because an addicted individual is often quite adept at hiding his or her addiction, employers and even coworkers may not be able to recognize what is causing the individual’s decreased productivity at the office. Addiction issues do not just cause problems for the individual’s work environment, but his or her family members may be having problems at their workplaces as well. Join Ivette Torres, Associate Director for Consumer Affairs, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and a panel of experts to examine the issues related to addiction in the workforce such as: how to identify where a problem exists, when to intervene and how, and what can be done. This program will also demonstrate how employee assistance programs are beneficial to the addicted individual, their family members, and the company. Panelists include: • Phillip Wang, Director of the Division of Services and Interventions Research, National Institute of Mental Health • Rebecca Adkins, Occupational Health Manager, Rio Tinto Minerals Americas • Frank Benson, Business Agent, Millwrights Local 1102 • Bohdan Baczara, Policy Advisor, Department of Transportation, Office of Drug & Alcohol Policy & Compliance CLICK HERE TO BRING UP WEBCAST PAGE THEN CLICK "COMPLETE WEBCAST" |
