The focus of our Recent Incident, Early Intervention and Resource Groups are to teach effective critical incident management and enhance ways of reducing stress levels for groups and organizations.

Recent Incident Early Intervention and Resource

Managing stress effectively is key to maintaining peak performance in teams and organizations. Our Recent Incident and Resource Groups focus on advanced strategies to reduce stress levels, ensuring sustained efficiency and productivity.

Research shows that early intervention within the first three months post-trauma is crucial for preventing and treating PTSD symptoms. Implementing these proactive measures fosters mental clarity, structured problem-solving, and increased productivity. A calm mind leads to better decision-making and sustainable success.

Strengthening self-regulation practices benefits individuals, clients, and communities, creating a resilient, high-functioning environment. Prioritizing stress management and mental health ensures long-term growth and enhanced professional outcomes.

DEEP BREATHING

Breathing is a natural process. Besides the physical benefits of deep, mindful, controlled breathing, this practice benefits the mind and spirit as well. Deep breathing induces calm and inner serenity. It also fosters balance and equilibrium in emotional experience and releases the build up of stress. Breathing is under the conscious and autonomic control that is responsible for top down and bottom up regulation.
TAPPING

In tapping we focus on brief bilateral stimulation to enhance resources that allow us to address specific situations and experiences.
IMAGINATION

It all begins with an idea. Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” In guided imagery practices we can learn how to find balance as we engage the emotional and rational experiences of daily living. With imagination we can improve productivity and overall sense of wellbeing.
EMDR PRECI

EMDR Protocol for Recent Critical Incidents and Ongoing Traumatic Stress (EMDR-PRECI) © was developed in the field to treat recent events (even hours after the critical incident) or prolonged adverse experiences where related stressful events continue for an extended time and where there is no post-trauma safety period for traumatic memory consolidation (ongoing traumatic stress).
ASSYST GROUP

This AIP-informed procedure is designed to help patients experiencing acute stress syndrome (ASS) symptoms, particularly those in a hyper-aroused state or overwhelmed by emotions, physical sensations, or negative sensory input. It focuses on desensitizing intrusive somatic and sensory components related to trauma, such as odors, sounds, body sensations (tightness, nausea, vomiting), or behavioral patterns (compulsive hand washing). The goal is to regulate activation levels within the window of tolerance, enabling the AIP system to process information spontaneously.
The intervention is particularly effective within the first hours of severe distress, addressing functional deterioration and preparing patients for further EMDR treatment, specifically the EMDR Protocol for Recent Critical Incidents and Ongoing Traumatic Stress (EMDR-PRECI).
HEART MATH

HeartMath technology is a science-backed method designed to improve emotional well-being by optimizing heart rhythm patterns. By achieving physiological coherence, individuals experience greater mental clarity, emotional balance, and stress resilience.
