Critical Incident Stress
Response (CISR)
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 CSIM
(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.
