As a continuum of care is the standard of practice in medicine, so should it be in crisis intervention and disaster mental health. Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), originally developed in the 1980s by Dr. Jeffrey Mitchell, was the world’s first integrated continuum of crisis and disaster interventions. This 9-minute video introduces the viewer to each of the foundational interventions of the CISM continuum of care. It provides a review of the nature, timing, and target group for each of eight core CISM interventions including psychological first aid (PFA), Crisis Management Briefing (CMB), Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD), and the newest CISM intervention Peer Paracounseling (PPC). This video is an essential introduction for students as well as an essential teaching aid for trainers.
