| The purpose of CISR is to establish a
voluntary, confidential and caring procedure for the response to
employees and volunteers who have encountered a distressing event
with sufficient impact to influence them emotionally, and impact
their effective coping skills. The CISR (Critical Incident Stress
Response) Team is comprised of certified members in CISM (Critical
Incident Stress Management) by the ICISF, Inc. (International
Critical Incident Stress Foundations, Inc.)
The Team is on-call 24/7, 365 days a year, to provide support to
LMHS employees and volunteers through debriefing and defusings.
To request a CISR Team member, please contact your House
Supervisor or House Operator.
Examples of a major distressing event include:
- Direct contact with death
- Direct contact with severely injured or sick children
- An event resulting in injury to a patient to include support
of involved staff
- The death of serious injury of a co-worker in the 'line of
duty'
- The serious injury / death of a family member or close
friend of a co-worker
- The suicide of a co-worker or co-worker's family member /
friend
- Violent acts that threaten injury or kill a co-worker or
patients / families including violence in the system workplace
- A disaster, such as, a hurricane or a multiple injury /
death event
- Civilians and/or co-workers killed or severely injured in
the course of emergency operations
- Cases involving a high profile individual
