| Critical Incident Stress Debriefing is used for individuals and groups who have been exposed to an event that is outside their normal range of experience such as natural disasters, major fatal accidents including train, bus and rail accidents, incidents such as workplace assaults and armed raids which have the capacity to disable psychologically. |
| People who experience traumatic incidents may experience a completely altered view of life and anxiety about their emotional health and future. Symptoms may be distressing and can include nightmares, flashbacks and intrusive thoughts. Family members will be affected and difficulties such as increased accidents and poor work performance may be experienced in the workplace. Health problems, such as a rise in blood pressure and loss of sleep may be experienced. There is also an increased risk of accidents both on and off the job. |
| Debriefing meetings for affected employees/individuals is an important element of post trauma recovery and helps individuals identify their support needs and the coping techniques available to them. Abate Counselling & EAP Limited has at its disposal highly trained specialists in this field and provides on-site facilitation of the post-incident process that helps to abate the onset of post trauma stress. |
