POST CRITICAL INCIDENT SEMINARS
You don’t have to explain the whole job first.
PCIS brings first responders together with trained peers and clinical staff. There’s time to talk, learn about trauma and stress, and work on ways to move forward.
The seminar is for critical incidents, stress that builds over a career, and traumatic events outside the job, too.
