PROGRAM OUTLINE
DAY 1: This provides an overview of the TCI System and focuses on the importance of the supervisor and the post crisis multilevel response. Participants practice immediate debriefing of staff members and learn how to provide direct supervision to front line staff. Participants also practice all of the physical intervention techniques.
DAY 2: This continues with a demonstration and practice session on conducting incident reviews with staff members, using critical incident reports and ICSP’s, and facilitating a team/ unit review. Participants have the opportunity to develop an implementation plan for instituting the post-crisis multilevel response system in their own organizations.
All participants are tested with written and competency-based tests in order to apply for re-certification.
