Online CISM Training Now Available

Weber State University, in partnership with the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF) www.icisf.org, offers online training in the area of Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM). An initial pilot course provides an ongoing update in the fields of critical incident response, crisis intervention, and disaster mental health. These fields are in constant flux, evolving with every major disaster. Every week the headlines reflect terrorism, natural disasters, and fears of pandemics. New information comes out regularly. It is, therefore, necessary to keep those who must meet these challenges abreast of important changes as they occur. These updates can be an important medium to provide access to the latest trends, theories, and practices.
