Critical Incident Support
The Backing the Badge team provides timely and relevant responses to assist supervisors and employees with stressful, traumatic or shocking life events, that significantly impact the work environment. When Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) services are needed for first responders, Backing the Badge helps employees process complex emotions surrounding an event, educate employees around normal reactions to abnormal situations, and provide practical tools on how to cope in the aftermath and restore a sense of normalcy.
Backing the Badge also offers a variety of training programs that can be customized to meet your department’s needs, with broad topics around change management, organizational goals, and specific challenges.
