Post critical incident support

Service Description

Critical Incident & Post-Incident Support Thrive Therapy Services provides structured psychological support for organisations and their employees following serious, traumatic or distressing workplace incidents. Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) is a structured, seven-phase supportive intervention designed for individuals or small groups who have experienced the same significant or potentially traumatic event. Group sessions are generally limited to a maximum of eight participants and typically last up to three hours. CISD is not psychotherapy or trauma treatment. Rather, it provides a structured and supportive opportunity to discuss the incident and its impact, consider individual and shared responses, and identify where additional support may be beneficial. For organisations, post-incident support can form part of a wider response aimed at supporting staff wellbeing, restoring team cohesion and demonstrating an appropriate commitment to the psychological welfare of employees following a serious event. Ongoing Psychological Support Some individuals may experience continuing psychological or emotional difficulties following a critical incident. Where further support is indicated, Thrive can provide an individual assessment and appropriate therapeutic support. Depending upon the individual's needs, this may include Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), or other trauma-focused psychological therapy. Where appropriate, recommendations for alternative or additional services can also be made. Individual 1-1 therapeutic provision via a THRIVE assessment triage.
