The purpose of this workshop is to provide training for mental health professionals who currently work, or plan to work, with victims impacted by critical incidents, stress, and trauma. This training prepares the mental health responder to effectively relate to and support critical incident victims, families, and co-workers. Participants will explore warning signs and symptoms experienced by both victims and responders, along with stages of recovery, intervention strategies, and practical response planning. An interactive practicum section will be included to ensure all participants have the opportunity to observe a mental health response case scenario, followed by a guided debriefing to strengthen learning, reflection, and real-world application.
