EMPOWER RESILIENCE IN CRISIS
In times of adversity, CRISIS stands tall, offering support and a glimmer of hope. I understand that healing is a unique journey for everyone, and we embrace this truth. With empathy as our compass and integration as our guide, we empower those affected by critical incidents to find strength within themselves. Together, we navigate the storm, emerging more vital, resilient, and ready to face whatever comes next - CRISIS - where understanding meets transformation.
Are you or someone you know struggling to cope with the aftermath of a critical incident? Look no further than CRISIS—Critical Incident Stress Integration & Support. Our psychosocial, systematic, and integrative approach is designed to provide comprehensive support for those adversely affected or overwhelmed following a critical incident.
CRISIS offers several crucial benefits to individuals seeking assistance after a critical incident. One key benefit is our immediate response to distressed individuals, ensuring that help is available. This swift and supportive approach provides reassurance and comfort in distress.
One critical aspect of CRISIS is its focus on subjective reactions rather than the specific event type. I understand that different people may react differently to similar incidents, and I aim to provide support that acknowledges and addresses these subjective experiences.
Moreover, CRISIS goes beyond the traditional definition of trauma, offering support for adverse life events that are not typically considered traumatic. Everyone's experiences and emotions are valid, regardless of diagnostic labels.
Using CRISIS, I enhance natural recovery processes and allow individuals to consider their ongoing support needs. It is functional, memorable, and repeatable, allowing individuals to integrate the support they receive into their daily lives.
It is important to note that CRISIS is not traditional trauma counselling or psychotherapy, nor is it a form of psychological debriefing. Our approach is non-judgmental and does not involve clinical diagnostics, judgment, labelling, or psychotherapeutic treatment. Instead, I focus on the immediate response to distress, tailoring our support to meet everyone’s unique needs and experiences. However, the effects of CRISIS may be therapeutic, promoting healing and growth.
A critical incident can trigger various reactions, including peritraumatic responses, which can be complex and overwhelming. CRISIS supports integrative learning, helping individuals verify and make sense of their experiences and reducing the emotional charge associated with the incident. It also provides stabilisation support information for recovery and facilitates ongoing support to promote overall well-being.
I understand that confronting and handling challenging situations can be difficult, leading to disempowerment and vulnerability. Through our holistic approach, the CRISIS Schema aims to restore stability, order, and control in a person's life.
A critical incident can encompass various situations, including combat, road traffic collisions, terror attacks, disasters, sudden grief, violence, and more. Sub-critical incidents within a critical incident represent the most challenging aspects for individuals to confront and handle. Destabilisation caused by these sub-critical incidents can lead to confusion, fragmentation, and difficulties in coping.
Different people may have varying levels of resilience in other contexts, and this does not indicate personal weakness. CRISIS recognises the subjective nature of each individual's experience. It aims to provide support tailored to their unique needs.
I acknowledge that adverse outcomes following a critical incident can manifest in spiritual, emotional, cognitive, behavioural, and physical realms. Our program addresses these domains, providing guidance, resources, and support to help individuals navigate through their distress and work towards healing. While many recover naturally with time and appropriate support, some may experience long-term adverse effects. Though diagnostic criteria like PTSD can be helpful for clinicians, I recognise that lasting effects can occur without meeting formal criteria.
Remember that you are not alone if you or someone you know has been affected by a critical incident. Contact us and discover how CRISIS can provide comprehensive support for your recovery. I am here to assist you in your healing, resilience, and growth journey. With CRISIS, support is just a step away.
