Critical Incident Stress HandoutsThe handouts listed below can be printed out and used during educational and briefing sessions to give to staff, or for some for the general community, for their reference.
CISM Handout for Emergency Workers This is our standard handout to describe Critical Incident Stress to Emergency Workers. It is two-sided and can easily be copied as a two-sided document. In addition, it is designed to be a tri-fold brochure. This is a handout with two pocket sized cards/sheets per printed sheet (depending what it is printed on). Simply print, cut down the middle and have the worker fold it in half. It contains information on how to care for themselves during a crisis operation. Federal Information Sheets-Various Agencies. (Adobe PDF files)
The handouts listed below are meant for administrative reference only.
Crisis Management Briefing Informational Handout This handout describes the process of a Crisis Management Briefing. This is a very useful intervention for large groups of people whether they be staff or community in nature. It is a form of a Town Meeting which is specifically structured to mitigate/decompress the stress and highly charged environment of a major event. ***The document is not a do-it-yourself guide. It is strictly informational and can not substitute for the involvement of trained CISM personnel.***
Communicating in a Crisis: Risk Communication Guidelines for Public Officials This document is prepared by the
U.S. DHHS/SAMHSA and designed to educate about the proper methods for
communication in a major event. It is critical that a standardized,
timely, consistent and accurate posture is presented in dealing with the staff,
public and the media. It is also very important that these messages be
consistent, if not identical, to those put forth by government officials, public
health entities and peer medical facilities. This is best accomplished by
following the National Incident Management System and specifically the protocols
for Joint Information System/Centers. http://www.fema.gov/emergency/nims/index.shtm
