Critical Incident Support

Critical incidents are stressful and/or traumatic events that can impact a person, their family, and their work in a variety of ways. Examples include the death of an employee, natural disasters, workplace accidents, the downsizing of a company, or any event or situation that results in physical or psychological harm to the employee.

The information on this page will help you set up a private group and/or individual counseling sessions specifically for your team or department.

Through Spring Health, our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) is available to provide departments with comprehensive crisis support services for anyone impacted. Services may include onsite or virtual response, one-on-one and group counseling sessions, telephonic crisis support, and post-event follow up. Providers work with employees to help build resilience and recovery, facilitate understanding, promote hope, and ensure they have ongoing support.
