Through ‘pre-briefing’ and debriefing teams, we have been able to mitigate against some of the mental health impacts and potentially traumatic responses to difficult engagements. We have also been able to process challenging events, support emotional well-being, and help individuals and teams to navigate the aftermath of stressful or traumatic engagement experiences.

Debriefs serve as a supportive process to help individuals and groups process their experiences, emotions, and reactions and our expertise in trauma-informed care and psychological interventions has ensured that staff receive targeted strategies to cope prior to and shortly after difficult or potentially traumatic engagements.
