Request Training

There are several options to choose from when deciding to have an ICISF training come to you. These include:

• Host an ICISF Regional Conference
• Host an ICISF Speaker through our Speakers Bureau
• Have an ICISF Approved Instructor come to your location and teach a CISM workshop

Hosting a Regional Conference

ICISF looks to partner with organizations to host an ICISF Regional Conferences. The ICISF Regional Conferences are must attend experiences for anyone working in the fields of crisis intervention, mental health, traumatic stress, emergency services and disaster mental health. A variety of workshops are taught by our renowned instructors during a four to five day conference. Registrants have the opportunity to attend one to three workshops, earn Continuing Education, network with CISM practitioners from around the world, discuss CISM team issues with ICISF faculty and staff, and fulfill program requirements for ICISF's Certificate of Specialized Training Program.

The local hosting organization has the opportunity to earn scholarships to that conference as well as a portion of the net conference proceeds. In return, the local host assists with the pre-conference coordination, provides A/V equipment and on-site support. Please contact Terri Pazornick (Terrip@icisf.org) for further information on hosting an ICISF Regional Conference.

Speaker's Bureau

For organizations looking to receive training at their location, the ICISF Speakers Bureau Program utilizes speakers that are extremely dynamic and are renowned within the field of comprehensive crisis intervention and disaster behavioral health services. The ICISF Speakers Bureau Program can arrange to present any ICISF workshop or programs can be customized to fit with the needs of your organization. ICISF will arrange for a speaker that shares similar experiences to your projected attendees and will work with you to setup all details of the program.
