ICISF Assisting Individuals In Crisis

March 8 @ 9:00 am - March 9 @ 4:00 pm

The Stony Plain Fire Department has booked Fire Within Crisis Services to conduct a 2 day Assisting Individuals in Crisis course. Details are below. This class is geared to get new members to start the training needed to be a peer support member or to refresh existing peer support members. The SPFD is looking to fill the remainder of the class seats with members from other departments. I have sent this out to my old and new regional contacts. Please feel free to share this email with others who may be interested.

Crisis Intervention is a specialized emergency mental health intervention that targets the response NOT the event. This course is designed to teach participants the fundamentals of, and a specific protocol for, individual (one-on-one) peer support crisis intervention.

 This is a 2-day ICISF certification course.
