Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM)

To mitigate normal stress reactions and expedite recovery when a critical incident / traumatic event occurs which can overwhelm normal coping skills.

A collaborative initiative between the Department of Homeland Security/Emergency Management and St. Clair County Community Mental Health.
The CISM team includes trained professionals from various sectors, including law enforcement, emergency medical personnel, fire services, mental health providers, business, education, clergy, and community members.
Team members trained in the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF) model provide support following traumatic events impacting first responders, schools, businesses, and the community.
From October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the team conducted 12 interventions for first responders, schools, hospitals, human service organizations, and the broader
community.
