The video is in the .MP4 format. Windows and macOS users can play MP4 files without having to install any third-party software. Windows uses Windows Media Player by default; in macOS, they're played using QuickTime.

Critical incident stress management (CISM) training programs benefit from incorporating video examples demonstrating interventions of RITS, Crisis Management Briefings (CMB), Critical Incident Stress Debriefings (CISD), and Defusings. Video demonstrations and realistic reenactments give trainees more context and help them visualize implementing these techniques. Seeing various CISM components modeled in authentic scenarios improves comprehension and retention for students.
