CISM Guidelines

CISM, or the Crisis Intervention Stress Management guidelines, are a set of protocols designed to help individuals cope with trauma and stress following critical incidents. These guidelines focus on providing immediate emotional support, fostering communication, and facilitating recovery. They emphasize the importance of a structured approach to help people process their experiences, reduce anxiety, and promote resilience. The goal is to restore a sense of normalcy and well-being after stressful events, whether in workplaces, communities, or first responder scenarios. By following CISM guidelines, organizations can better support individuals facing emotional challenges in the aftermath of crises.
