Critical Incident Group Debriefing

Critical Incident Group Debriefing (CIGD) is a short-term group intervention process that focuses on an immediate crisis. CIGD is one method that can be utilized to lessen the likelihood of participants 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. Participants of this webinar will learn not only learn about facilitating a group debriefing, but also have a better understanding of when a group debriefing might not be appropriate.

Anxiety

- Practical Intervention Strategies

April 11, 2012; 1:00-2:30pm (Central Standard Time)

Anxiety represents our body's natural alarm system, signalling to us the possibility of danger. When this response arises too frequently or intensely and doesn't match actual situations of danger, it can interfere with life and cause great distress. It is estimated that over a quarter of the population will experience anxiety and there is an increasing concern for rising anxiety among children and youth. In this webinar we will explore the natural purpose of anxiety and how it can become 'disordered' and the main principles to guide responding and supporting individuals struggling with anxiety.
