The purpose of this ICISF (International Critical Incident Stress Foundation) course is to improve the ability of the participants to practice “Pastoral Crisis Intervention” (PCI). PCI may be thought of as the practice of psychological crisis intervention within a spiritual/religious context. The purpose is NOT to teach theology. This is an “entry-level” class. Students will be able to understand and differentiate the key terms and concepts relevant to the study of psychological crisis intervention and PCI and understand the nature and definition of Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) and its role as a continuum of care. In addition, you will be able to understand and PRACTICE the steps in the SAFER-R model of individual psychological crisis intervention/PFA and the SAFER-R model for suicide intervention.
