Helping staff cope with critical incident stress
Critical incident stress and outcomes like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Accumulated Stress Disorder are not just the preserve of emergency, health or defence workers. Staff in the recreation sector work in high energy and unpredictable environments where serious accidents or incidents can happen at any time. While they might be infrequent and while our safety systems are designed to minimise them, they can still happen. Often the emotional impacts of a traumatic incident can be greater for those who encounter them infrequently than for those who encounter them frequently.
This webinar is designed with the recreation sector in mind to help practitioners think about how to minimise the impacts of the stress of critical incidents on staff before they happen.
