What is a CISM Team?
The
Southwest Ohio Critical Incident Stress Management Team (CISM) is a group of
dedicated, sensitive and specially trained professionals who help emergency
personnel deal with the most stressful aspects and occurrences of their
occupations. The CISM Team is comprised of emergency service support persons
representing all areas of emergency care and public safety services including:
Nurses, Physicians, Emergency Medical Technicians, Paramedics, Law Enforcement
Officers, Fire Fighters, Dispatchers, Chaplains, and Mental Health Providers.
The Southwest Ohio Critical Incident Stress
Management Team was developed to provide debriefing following critical
incidents for any Public Safety Service Worker and/or Critical Care Provider requesting
assistance. The focus of this service is
to minimize the harmful effects of job stress, particularly in crisis, or
emergency situations. As such, the
highest priority is to provide services to mitigate the harmful effects of job
stress utilizing educational services i.e.; on scene support, defusings,
debriefings, & individual needs. The
team will also maintain confidentiality and respect the feelings of all
individuals involved. It is not the
function of the Team to replace on-going professional counseling, but to
provide education and immediate crisis intervention. Through the CISM Team educational process,
the TEAM provides an important tool to alleviate stress-related symptoms.
