Debriefing and Mutual Support

Many professions use the term “debriefing” to describe protocols used to respond in the aftermath of critical events. Yet, there is confusion about which practices are helpful and healthy – and which ones may lead to further harm. How do we support one another while protecting ourselves from traumatic content? How do we embed regular check-ins for mutual support?

This training provides best practice recommendations for processing the distressing elements of our work. It also provides guidance on establishing communities of support and debriefing processes that consider critical incidents as well as the cumulative impact of on-going trauma exposure – which, due to its subtle nature, can often be overlooked.
