CISM GRIN Training August 30-September 1, 2023
This program is designed to present the core elements of a comprehensive, systematic, and multi-component crisis intervention curriculum. The three-day course prepares participants to understand a wide range of crisis intervention services including Group and Individual Crisis Intervention techniques. The course provides all participants in the class the information needed to intervene with anyone affected by a sentinel event in the public, private, or school setting.

Considerable evidence gathered to date strongly supports the multi-component crisis intervention strategy, which is discussed in this course.
