CISM Defined
Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) may be defined as a group discussion about a traumatic event, or series of traumatic events
CISM is solidly based in crisis intervention theory and educational intervention theory

Purpose
The process is designed to mitigate the psychological impact of a traumatic event, e.g., plane crash, natural disaster, serious incident or accident
It serves as an early identification mechanism for individuals who may require professional mental health follow-up subsequent to a traumatic event

CISMSupport Requests
During, or immediately following each rescue or disaster relief mission, a review of the need for CIS intervention should be made for all personnel participating in the mission whether or not the mission was concluded successfully
![Page 14: 1 Authored by John W. Desmarais 18-Dec-1998 Modified by Lt Colonel Fred Blundell TX-129 Fort Worth Senior Squadron For Local Training Rev 5.0 02-Jan-2014](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551c35ce550346a3488b4592/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

CISM SupportRequests
(Continued)
If the mission is closed or suspended and a member(s) experiences the need for a critical incident stress intervention or observes the need in another member(s), he/she should express that need directly to the incident commander or wing commander
![Page 15: 1 Authored by John W. Desmarais 18-Dec-1998 Modified by Lt Colonel Fred Blundell TX-129 Fort Worth Senior Squadron For Local Training Rev 5.0 02-Jan-2014](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551c35ce550346a3488b4592/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

CISMSupport Requests
(Continued)
Incident commanders or unit commanders will pass requests for CIS intervention to the wing commander, as proper CIS support will often require support long after a mission is closed or suspended
It should also be noted that personnel not at the front-line of a mission might require CIS intervention just as much as the ground team dealing with a crash site
