Debriefing Facilitator Training

DEBRIEFING IN THE WORKPLACE
A stress mitigation tool

Debriefing Facilitator training offers practical knowledge of emotional stress that results from an upsetting event, and teaches participants how to facilitate debriefings in the workplace.

Debriefing is a critical incident stress management technique designed to assist staff who are coping with an upsetting event that occurred onsite. An organized, confidential discussion, debriefing is a group format that provides a secure environment for staff to process emotions, ask questions, express fears and concerns, and gain evidence-based coping resources.

Based on the principles of Critical Incident Stress Management, Debriefing Facilitator training offers a solid foundation for understanding stress and trauma, and teaches participants how to facilitate debriefings both in-house and externally.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES:

• Learn to facilitate in-house debriefing sessions using a 6-stage CISM model
• Learn how to foster normal recovery following an emotionally stressful event
• Learn how emotional stress affects critical thinking, cognition, problem-solving, and memory
• Learn how to provide evidence-based stress management strategies and external resources

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.
