Critical Incident and Post Incident Response

First responders deal with a wide range of very difficult and stressful events. Some of these events are clearly more difficult than others. When we dealing with the injury or death of one of our own, when children are involved, or when experiencing the cumulative effect of repeated difficult situations, it can become overwhelming for anyone.

A critical incident response plan is best developed well before something tragic has happened. Pre-incident policy and training can help guide you through the most complicated incident. Agencies need to turn to a strategic and comprehensive plan that is driven by knowledge and professionalism. Experience in the field is key. At Masa Consulting that is what you get.

Doing a debriefing after the event is only one aspect of an intervention. You must look at the development of an all-inclusive wellness program for your people. Masa Consulting can guide you through a complete critical incident program to respond to any situation. We will respond quickly, professionally, and compassionately to your needs, with pre-incident planning and training, one-to-one counseling, on-scene response, and assistance in post-incident debriefings and critical elements of follow-up.
