Engine 1 Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), formerly referred to as the Mitchell Model, is a crisis intervention program developed for emergency responders, containing multiple interventions, which was developed by the founders of the International Critical Incident Stress Management Foundation (ICISF).
Some of the events that may be considered traumatic for first responders:
It's never too late for CISM, but the sooner the intervention occurs
the better the outcome. If you have any question about CISM or
think you may need an intervention for yourself, your partner, or
your team/force/group please call:
Tom Dendy, Team Coordinator, (409)925-2900 (daytime) or (409)599-9696 (cell) OR Annette H. Martinez, Clinical Coordinator, (409)996-3131 The
Galveston Fire Department
recently hired nine new firefighters to fill
vacancies that have occurred since
Hurricane Ike. The
new firefighters spent a week in orientation during
which time they learned policies & procedures,
SOP's, and became familiar with the apparatus and
equipment used in the GFD. They spent one full day
at the HFD VJTC participating in live burn
evolutions and MAYDAY
procedures. They concluded the week with a
graduation ceremony at the City's Maguire Dent
Recreation facility Friday night. All new
firefighters were assigned to shift work beginning
Saturday Oct. 24
