We’re holding a two-day training on Basic Group Crisis Intervention Training by one of the top teachers in the field!

Join Martinez Area CERT as we host an outstanding psychologist and educator, Dr. Jon Kayne of Bellevue University, Bellevue, Nebraska. Dr. Kayne has worked for over 30 years with first responders who were in crisis–one of his many, many widely-recognized accolades.

Course Description

Designed to present the core elements of a comprehensive, systematic and multi-component crisis intervention curriculum, the Group Crisis Intervention course will prepare participants to understand a wide range of crisis intervention services. Fundamentals of Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) will be outlined and participants will leave with the knowledge and tools to provide several group crisis interventions, specifically demobilizations, defusings, and the Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD). The need for appropriate follow-up services and referrals when necessary will also be discussed. This course is designed for anyone in the fields of Business & Industry Crisis Intervention, Disaster Response, Education, Emergency Services, Employee Assistance, Healthcare, Homeland Security, Mental Health, Military, Spiritual Care, and Traumatic Stress.
