Welcome to Civil Air Patrol's new home on the web for Critical Incident Stress Management!   Over the next      month, many links and options will become available for use by all members of CAP interested in CISM.  If you
     have any feedback, or things you would like to see, feel free to click on the "webmaster" link on the bottom left
     hand side of the screen to send us your thoughts!

           We look forward and are honored to being able to serve you, the member, in whatever capacity we can
     as we continue to "help those that help others."

          CISM is inclusive of programs and intervention strategies designed to prevent stress effects as well as manage      the recovery from significant experiential stressors.

          It includes pre-incident education, demobilizations, defusings, debriefings (Critical Incident Stress Debriefing),
     on-scene support services, Crisis Management Briefings, follow up services, professional referrals, crisis      intervention training (with continuing education), individual and pastoral crisis intervention and family support      programs.

         It is the desire of Civil Air Patrol to support its membership by providing these services and to assist all wings
     and regions in the development and subsequent implementation of CISM teams and programs within their borders.
