“ Having recently lost a Brother in a non-line of duty death I can attest first hand to the value of the Metro CISM Team. Too often we focus on the obvious physical injuries and neglect the mental and spiritual health of our employees. ”

“ The Metro CISM Team provides a high level of service to the agencies it serves. They quickly provide aid to defuse a bad day and very effectively debrief agencies when the time is right. ”

“ Our department has utilized the services of the Metro CISM Team a number of times over the last 10 years. We have benefited from the training provided to prepare for critical incidents and have received support after critical incidents involving our officers. We are fortunate to have the team available to serve our officers with such care and compassion. ”

“ Several years ago, while working as a Paramedic, I responded to a particularly difficult child death. After experiencing three days of sleeplessness, repeatedly replaying the event, and having several other post event stress reactions I was given the opportunity to attend my first debriefing. After attending the debriefing I was back to sleeping that very night. The intrusive thoughts stopped and I was back to functioning at a performance level I had come to expect of myself. ”
