Description: Have you ever been faced with a client in crisis and, despite your good counseling skills, you didn't know exactly how to guide the individual through their crisis? Drs. Jeff Mitchell and George Everly developed a toolbox of resources to help in such situations. Join us to learn more about these resources, get an overview of the history of Critical Incident Stress Management, look at crisis stress, and review the debriefing process to aid in crisis situations. This presentation will only be an overview of a more extensive training.

About the Presenter: Mr. Maas is currently a LPC at Forsyth Medical Center Behavioral Health and has been providing mental health services since 1984. He is trained and certified in Critical Incident Stress Management through the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation and is a provider of CISM through the Crisis Care Network.
