Critical Incident Stress Debriefing

Critical incident stress debriefing (CSID) is also known as the Mitchell model.

It is a structured group discussion designed to address the psychological impact of critical incidents. A critical incident could be:

A death in service

A homicide or accident at work.

A terror attack

An incident with a member of the public at the workplace.

CISD aims to mitigate acute symptoms, access the need for a follow up and provide a sense of post crisis psychological closure. The model is a 7 phase structure, which follows a specific sequence of phases during the group discussion. Individuals include witnesses, first responders and  survivors.
