coping with the impact of unpredictable critical incidents.
Critical Incident Stress Management Services
Behavioural Management defines a Critical Incident as
a sudden traumatic event experienced by personnel which produces intense emotional reactions and has the
potential to interfere with functioning. These are events with circumstances which are unusual
or distressing and
they typically produce immediate and/or delayed emotional reactions that
surpass the individual's normal coping mechanisms.
Examples of Critical Incidents can include:
Violent or catastrophic events such as shootings,
robberies, accidents, and natural disasters.
The serious injury, illness or death of an employee.
A distressing occurrence that attracts unusual media
attention.
Behavioural Management has wide experience assisting
organizations, families and individuals in adjusting to the aftermath of traumatic events. We can
response to your site within hours of a traumatic event, remain on-site and assist those
impacted by the event.
The most important step a person can take after a
Critical Incident is to recognize that life does not automatically return to normal following tragedy. Trauma
deserves expert consideration, planning and response. Behavioural Management has found
that those individuals who acknowledge and address the inevitable impact of trauma
significantly
reduce the recovery period for themselves, their families and their
lives as a whole.
