Adapting Critical Incident Stress Management to the Schools: A Multi-Agency Approach
Tortorici, Joanne; Johnson, Luna Kendall
Journal of School Violence, v3 n4 p59-76 2004
The need for school-appropriate applications of critical incident stress management (CISM) is noted in the literature on school crisis response. This paper presents preliminary data suggesting a School Crisis Response Team's (SCRT) usage and team needs. The SCRT was dispatched for a variety of critical incidents. Self-dispatch, followed by dispatches from Student Support Services, and a central Team Dispatcher accounted for the most frequent modes of mobilization. Team members dispatched centrally were more likely to be offered and to use post-incident team support services than were those who were self-dispatched. The paper also describes protocol changes with community partners and the evolving role of the school-based SCRT consultant. (Contains 6 tables.)
