Critical incidents are situations that occur outside of our normal frame of reference and challenge us to understand and cope with what has happened. Critical Incident Group Debriefing (CIGD) is a short-term group intervention process that focuses on an immediate event. CIGD is one of several methods that may be utilized to lessen the likelihood of people experiencing symptoms of trauma and stress after a critical incident. This group debriefing process provides a place for participants to talk and share experiences, and for the facilitator to teach and provide information about the impact of critical incidents. While participants of this workshop will learn how to facilitate a group debriefing, they will also learn how to discern when CIGD is appropriate for a group and when it might not be a suitable intervention.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

  • Understand how people respond differently to the same event
  • Describe a framework for facilitating a group debriefing
  • Know the benefits and potential problems with group debriefing
  • Identify when critical incident group debriefing is appropriate
  • Apply principles learned to their own environment

Method of Delivery

Presentation, video, case study exercises, experiential practice, personal reflection, delivered electronically.

*Please allow only the registered individual(s) to view the materials.
