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.
Program Highlights:
- 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.
