Research verifies that people who utilize the services of trained CISM personnel, recover more quickly and effectively from trauma incidents. However, not every incident requires a full debriefing. Early, one-on-one psychological support (Psychological First Aid) and brief, localized "defusings" immediately following an event have proven to be successful in reducing Trauma stress.
Defusings
Defusing is the term given to the confidential process of talking it out - taking the fuse out of an emotional bomb (explosive situation). Trained personnel help provide a safe and supportive environment allowing people the opportunity to talk about their involvement in the critical incident.
Formal group interventions are typically scheduled 1 to 10 days post-crisis, once the acute shock has worn off, while peer support and monitoring continue indefinitely.

Debriefing
The CIS debriefing is a structured and confidential group discussion facilitated by a specially trained team. The main objectives of a debriefing are to lessen the impact of a traumatic event and to quicken a person’s return to routine functioning.
