CISM: Applications with Air Medical, Critical Care Transport and Airborne Law
Enforcement workshop introduces the attendee to the unique world of air medical
and airborne law enforcement. Students in this interactive workshop will discuss the
personalities of successful flight crew members; learn about the diversity of
emergency service flight programs; examine the inherent difficulties of providing
crisis management for personnel dispersed around the country; discuss the
historical beginnings of flight programs and current industry issues; and, learn
about providing crisis management interventions to flight crew members combining
the services of local area teams and the national dedicated air medical/
airborne law enforcement CISM team as a peer and mental health adjunct. The
Surface to Air Response Team for CISM (START for CISM) serves the air medical,
critical care transport and airborne law enforcement industries by providing
pre-incident education, crisis interventions, consult services and follow-up
to diverse and often neglected flight crews in an increasingly dangerous and
ever-evolving environment. Upon completion, participants will be able to:
Identify specific significant stressors that flight personnel face; Demonstrate
knowledge of effective stress management strategies for flight personnel; Understand
the need to prepare for aviation critical incidents through the use of
written policies and procedures; and Identify appropriate resources for assistance
in the aftermath of a critical incident.
