Critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) is frequently talked about, but relatively little is said about Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM). In some instances, such as major community disasters, it is appropriate to provide just a debrief with selective follow up for those with special problems. However, in other circumstances where experiencing trauma is predictable, management and counsellors should consider developing a total CISM program. Such a program would involve pre-incident preparation and training, development of policies and procedures for interventions following a critical incident, and plans for follow up after an incident occurs
