What is Debriefing?
Debriefing is a proactive intervention involving a group or individual meeting or discussion about a particularly distressing critical incident. It is a confidential and voluntary opportunity to learn about stress, share reactions to an incident and vent emotions.
When is Debriefing done?
Ideally debriefing is conducted between 24 and 72 hours after the incident, but may be held later under exceptional circumstances.
Goals of Debriefing
The main purpose of debriefing is to stabilize people affected by the incident so that they can return to their normal routines without unusual stress.
