G10 - The Power of Purpose: Strategic Planning and Use of CISM on the College Campus

This workshop is "hands-on," demonstrating how local first responders, community mental health workers, and faculty/staff volunteers trained in CISM can partner together to create a CISM team capable of a powerful response to critical incidents on the college campus. Two scenarios involving a critical incident on a college campus will serve as the stimulus for this interactive session. Participants will engage in setting up a campus CISM team composed of local first responders, including emergency management; community mental health workers; and other community volunteers (e.g., Chaplains), along with campus faculty, staff, administration, and graduate students. Using CISM's Strategic Planning guidelines, small groups will plan a response to a major critical incident involving students at the University. Products from the session include a Checklist for team set-up, "hands-on" practice of a response (including selection of specific interventions) to a scenario, and a network of contacts interested in Campus CISM Teams!
