Our members come from all areas in the helping field, we are here because we care. Confidentiality is our top priority.

What is a Critical Incident?

Sometimes an incident can cause stress reactions because of a particularly traumatic event, or because of the cumulative effect of stressful events. Incidents that cause stress are called Critical Incidents.

Critical Incidents may cause unusually strong emotional reactions and could interfere with ability to work safely or function normally. Examples may be:
  • Personal traumatic injury/near miss
  • Family member severe illness or death
  • Sudden Death
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Co-worker critical injury or death
  • Incidents perceived as threatening (both physically and psychologically)

Why is it important?

Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) is specifically designed to reduce the negative impact of the critical incident and to accelerate recovery to normal from an abnormal event. CISM helps prevent depression and long term psychological problems. Critical Incident Stress can significantly impact emotional and physical well-being. CISM support is considered most effective 24-72 hours after the critical incident.
