Reasons for Debriefing
Debriefing allows staff to process an upsetting case or event, and express emotions and thoughts associated with it. Staff who undergo debriefing in the workplace within a 72-hour period experience less short- and long-term psychological trauma (Mitchell, 1988; Young, 1994).
History of Debriefing
Debriefing is an organized, confidential group discussion for those who mutually experience an upsetting or traumatic event. Originating in the military years earlier, the first psychological debriefing model was officially developed in 1974 to provide quick intervention for those responding to psychological stress. Now used around the world, debriefing helps to mitigate emotional stress and reduce the impact of an upsetting case, and serves as a forum for stress education for better work-life balance.
