We use the Critical Incident Stress Management (CSIM) and other group psychotherapy approaches.. This is a comprehensive multi-component approach to mitigation of critical incident related to stress either for individual, group or organization.

  A critical incident or traumatic event is any event that causes strong emotional reactions that have the potential to interfere with the ability to function normally. This overwhelms the coping mechanism of individuals. The event can be sudden death, accidents, serious injury, natural disaster, violence threats etc. CISM is meant to reduce emotional impact of the affected individuals by facilitating shock, grief and healing process and help them to restore their usual functioning and productivity. It is also designed to prevent subsequent development of post-traumatic syndrome and to identify any high-risk individuals who need professional follow-ups and to provide further plan of action.

  CISM is useful to address some of the effects of workplace critical incidents on employee such as:

  • Management unawareness of psychological issues & impact related to trauma
  • Co-Workers/Management Conflict
  • Post Traumatic Stress
  • Absenteeism
  • Family Conflict

  The aims of CISM sessions are to:

  • Mitigate impact
  • Mobilize resources
  • Normalize reactions
  • Restore to functioning
  • Provide stress coping strategies
  • Assess for referral
