What is Crisis Debriefing?
Crisis Debriefing is emotional-first aid for those who have experienced a traumatic, emotionally upsetting or stressful experience. It is also effective in helping cross-cultural workers process their challenges, stresses, and successes in ministry. Living and working cross-culturally present unique stressors and situations not experienced by people living in their own culture. Debriefing is a way for individuals to reflect on and integrate these situations more intentionally than they would with a friend or co-worker. It helps them to fully explore an experience so it can become a positive element in adjusting to a new culture or life situation.
What participants are saying about this training.....
“To hear the person say: "...it felt good talking to you, you listening and just being there for me." And how I saw the relief in the person when she heard those 2 words of comfort... "It's normal..." She burst into tears and just opened up more.”
“The Instructors are very knowledgeable and they explained the debriefing principles very well. I would like [to] recommend this Seminar to other people who are interested in debriefing and have love for other people.”
“I enjoyed the practice activity that we did because it gave us the opportunity to experience what it would be like in an actual debriefing situation, learn how I might react, and how to help people in very practical ways. I will definitely apply the knowledge I have gained in this workshop with the people I serve in my ministry.”
