Course Description:

Critical Incident Stress Management continues to be a pioneering and salient approach to crisis intervention and disaster mental health services. The challenge however is how to implement and
sustain the model within the shifting landscapes of public safety organizations. This one day program will illustrate how Successful Orientation toward Achievement and Resiliency (S.O.A.R)© can help that process. The concept is grounded in practical, real-world analysis and decision-making techniques to make ideas on the table become reality on the ground. Specifically, this offering will use CISM as a framework for developing a pathway to holistic organizational wellness using the S.O.A.R © approach. The class targets stakeholders from every discipline and experience level with an interest in organizational wellness planning.

Learning Objectives:

• Define S.O.A.R© and its relationship to CISM.
• Define Perspective Predicated Planning© and identify its three anchor points used to establish
  stakeholder buy-in for CISM programming.
• Identify and define the four components of the Perspective Predicated Planning© management
  cycle and how it can apply to CISM.
• Discuss four strategies which can enhance your chances for success.
