Where will the heroes of 2020 find help coping with their stress? The answer is right here on the pages of the ICISF website.
The ICISF model, known broadly as CISM, is the most comprehensive response to help people cope with the stress caused by critical incidents such as disasters of uncertainty. This is a peer support model, guided by mental health professionals, using techniques created by world renowned experts.
Challenges inspire creative solutions. The incredible events of 2020 motivated the development of new programs, products and delivery methods at the ICISF. The programs of the ICISF, described in detail on the pages of this website, have been adjusted to allow presentation via online and remote services. For example, our core programs are now offered using online resources, while we continue to support the delivery of in-person events where safe measures are employed.
