A discussion of coping strategies, individual self-report exercises, and an experiential group support session will assist the participating trauma provider in assessing his or her own level of stress. Stress management self care techniques will be presented, experienced, and discussed. Participants will receive the ICISF workbook and ICISF certificate.

Those working in Crisis or Disaster Response, Emergency Services, Law Enforcement, Schools, Homeland Security, Mental Health, Military, Spiritual Care, Ministry, Health Care, Business & Industry, and Traumatic Stress are encouraged to attend.
