For Public Safety Personnel

Starts Here.

Did you know?

Up to 70% of public safety personnel who are involved in, or exposed to, a critical or non-critical stressful incident NEVER attend a stress debrief session or otherwise receive any type of follow-up support.

Your reaction to an incident

Any incident that was, or still is, distressing to you personally needs some debrief and possibly follow-on intervention. The incident need not have risen to the level of a mass casualty event nor involved large numbers of first responders in order for you to come away feeling disoriented or overwhelmed and in need of some help in reducing your stress level.

Consequences of Doing Nothing

If left unaddressed, the stress generated by a single incident (or multiple incidents) can fester over time and lead to:

  • PTSD
  • Secondary traumatic stress
  • Anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances and more

Do-it-yourself (DIY) debrief

Use the Incident Debrief® platform to debrief, process, and recover from incident-induced stress.

Incident Debrief® is recommended

  • even if you have attended or plan to attend a traditional in-person group CISD session

Clinical vs Sub-Clinical vs Generalized Stress

The Incident Debrief® intervention and add-on assessments tell you whether any stress-related challenges you may be experiencing are clinical, sub-clinical, or garden variety stress. This informs you as to whether therapy, coaching, or other self-help resources is right for you.

Avoid rabbit holes

Knowing more about your personal mental health and wellbeing in the aftermath of a stressful incident, and about the various help-resources available, prevents you from going down expensive and ineffective treatment paths.
