A Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) is an intervention using a group format to provide peer help within 72 hours of a major incident. It is designed to minimize stress related injury to emergency personnel (fire, police, emergency medical services, disaster, hospital emergency department and dispatchers).
Critical Incident Stress Debriefings (CISD) are held shortly following an incident in the nearest appropriate place (ambulance station, firehall, etc.) All responders who had been involved in the incident (but only those involved) are invited to attend, including dispatchers.
The Western New York Stress Reduction Program provides trained, experienced debriefing teams for each session.
