Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Resilience Training: Psychological Survival Skills for Before, During & After Crises
This two-day training helps participants be at their best during tough times and helps them prevent and recover from stress-related conditions- while optimizing mental well-being and performance under pressure. Each of us has a great need to learn the skills of resilience, and then teach these skills to others. Practical evidence-based and theory-driven resilience principles and skills will be explored. Coping skills taught in traditional clinical, elite training, and positive psychology settings will be explained—including cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence.
This course is designed particularly for emergency responders with a personal interest (such as military, police, firefighters, disaster workers) and those who support them, including mental health professionals, pastoral counselors/chaplains, leaders, trainers, peer counselors, and family members. The skills help us all, regardless of age or circumstance, cope with strains from everyday stressors to trauma. Course outcomes can include a greater sense of subjective well-being, improved occupational and social functioning, greater job retention, and the ability to help others become highly resilient.
