Beyond Crisis Intervention

The real learning is that beyond having a solid CISM response program, the real work has to start in building greater resilience in our people long before they need emotional first aid. The International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF) acknowledges the need for this in the “Resistance, Resiliency, Recovery” continuum of care model.

Behavioral health problems among wildland fire personnel stemming from their stressors can take on many forms. These problems may manifest as cumulative stress builds, often when crews and others disband during the off-season season. The loss of structure (the job) and support base (the bonds of the unit and others) can be complicating factors. Being resistant and resilient between back-to-back fire seasons is often very trying for those who work year-round.
