Overview
Many professions use the term “debriefing” to describe protocols used to respond in the aftermath of critical events. Yet, there is confusion about which practices are helpful and healthy, and which ones may lead to further harm. How do we support one another while protecting ourselves from traumatic content? How do we embed regular check-ins for mutual support?
This training provides best practice recommendations for supporting one another with the difficult aspects of our work. It provides guidance on building supportive communities and debriefing practices that address both critical incidents and the ongoing effects of repeated trauma – impacts that are often subtle and easy to miss.
