Critical incidents are highly stressful or traumatic events which may significantly challenge or exceed one’s capacity to cope. Events such as natural disasters, accidents, serious workplace injury or death, violence, crime, or witnessing any of the above can have a long term and ripple effect within your workplace. Debriefing is an important resource for those who have experienced a critical incident.
The debriefing process provides a safe and supportive environment for participants to voluntarily share and begin to process their experience of a critical event.
