Critical Incident Stress Management

More

Keyano College in partnership with Critical Incident Stress Management for Communities is offering Individual and Group Crisis Intervention courses. 

Critical Incident Stress Management teaches the emotional, physical, cognitive and behavioral symptoms  experienced after a critical incident that are normal stress reactions to abnormal events.  The core focus of CISM is the relief of distress symptoms for emotionally healthy people who have experienced traumatic events. These sessions help you understand the symptoms and provides the tools needed to get through it and mitigate any long term effects.
