East Central Indiana Critical Incident Stress Management Team

This unique resource is comprised of a group of dedicated community professionals from East Central Indiana who are trained volunteers providing supportive services to the community at no charge. A critical incident causes responders to experience unusually strong emotional reactions, which have the potential to interfere with their ability to cope with the incident either at the scene or later. Team members are trained in both defusing critical incidents shortly after their occurrence and debriefing involving individuals in the days that follow the incident. Many of these team members know what it is like to experience a traumatic event, having survived similar situations or by having professional experience assisting in situations. Members of this team are highly dedicated to respond to area critical incidents and assist emergency personnel in dealing with the emotional effects. The teams’ goal is to reduce emotional tension and facilitate recovery processes of people having normal reactions to abnormal events.
