Course Overview
Debriefing is an essential part of any profession where there is an increased risk of emotional, psychological or physically challenging situations.
Debriefing is a supportive discussion between colleagues to provide an opportunity to discuss the impact of these situations, identify changes which could be made and promote resilience.
This training course defines the meaning of the term ‘incident’, confirms the meaning of ‘post incident support’ and ‘post incident learning’ and evaluates links between debriefing, mental health and mental ill health.
This training course describes the broad impact incidents can have on people, including physical, mental, social, occupational and environmental impacts and identifies ways which debriefing can be used to strengthen resilience and promote wellbeing.
This training course describes skills and qualities which make a good debriefer and debriefing experience, considers the benefits of good planning as a debriefer and considerations for debriefing environments and the need to maintain confidentiality and professional boundaries.
This training course provides a clear structure which can be used in facilitating ‘post incident support’ and ‘post incident learning’ and provides templates which can be used optionally following the training when debriefing in the workplace.
