Proper counseling after traumatic events, such as a job site death, can help keep members from compounding the emotional distress they suffer and the debilitating effects that may result. One or more therapists travel immediately to the disaster site and provide crisis intervention and psychotherapy services. When counseling is delayed or not given, some survivors may develop serious and even debilitating emotional problems. Critical Incident Debriefing helps trauma survivors identify, communicate, and understand feelings and reactions to the tragedy. Having an opportunity to talk out feelings with other survivors is a critical first step in the healing process.
