of current crisis intervention services including
pre and post incident crisis education, significant
other support services, on-scene support services
crisis intervention for individuals, demobilization
after a large scale traumatic incidents, small group

- ACUTE TRAUMATIC STRESS MANAGEMENT (ATSM)
(ONE DAY)
Crisis Intervention focuses on «psychological
first aid» in the aftermath of the tragedy.
ATSM offers strategies to address emergent psychological
needs of individuals during traumatic exposures. The
World Trade Center Twin Towers, Pentagon and the American
Airlines attack in Pennsylvania incidents of September
11, 2001 are the terrorist attacks that has changed
the way we live. We are now in a war against the terrorists,
and the FBI is playing a pivotal role in addressing
terrorism in the United States. The increased and
constant vigilance causes us to be in a constant state
of readiness to investigate, and stop this terrorism.
By reaching people early we can potentially prevent
acute traumatic stress reactions from becoming chronic
stress disorders.
