Is this a reading of the book?

“A universal stabilizer… an antidote to chaos”. Across cultures, languages and contexts, I have found CISM to truly be this. Thanks for this presentation. Very helpful.

Thank you we have two Canines on the team, its been amazing.

This was very powerful! Thank you so much.

Very informative. Thank you.

I really appreciated this session with Dr. Lilly. I definitely felt and understood her discussion. Thank you for having her as a part of this series.

I need this type of therapy. Have tried many times. I have done all the newer procedures that are being tried. I am retired/ disabled line of duty injuries. When someone has to go out on an injury, unless it is some big/ press involved injury, there is no peer support. I am 58 with PTSD two tititanium knees and have to get right shoulder replacement. Not a single officer called or came by. My heart broke. I would like to start a program for peer support here. Maybe retired officer's reaching out to the younger ones. I would be willing to go to school.

This a great session. I can see a lot of avoidance in myself, particularly when I was a younger firefighter. Thanks !

The 'shadow' behind the Doc's head is very distracting....

The ICISF Team would like to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season!

Thank you to our crisis responders and public safety personnel that are working during the holiday season and keeping us safe.

We'd like to thank all individuals working within the school systems as the schools begin to open up this year! Thank you to administration staff, teachers, educators, custodial staff, bus drivers and so many more! You all are making a difference!

Do you have questions for Barb Ertl about the pandemic crises as it affects schools? Let us know your question here in the comments or if watching LIVE, chat with her in real-time in the chat box.

Excellent, thanks !

As a retired paramedic and now licensed funeral director I found this presentation to be very helpful and informative. Thank you all for exploring this underserved population of responders👍🙏

Great to hear and see you again Doctor!

Thank you for the opportunity to further my knowledge base.

Greetings George haven’t seen you in many years. Thank you for all the knowledge and wisdom you have provided over the years!🙏 God bless!

As always, very interesting and helpful. Thank you for these CISM Lives. Dr. Conn, your book “Increasing Resilience in Police and Emergency Personnel” is excellent. I’m finding it an important read for those of us from the humanitarian aid world, as well.

Kelly and Jeff. Thank you for these CISM Live chats. Very helpful for an introduction or review. Will share with World Vision’s peer supporters around the world. Warm regards to you both.

Thanks, George, for these brief presentations. Very interesting and helpful. And a good format to share with our peer supporters and leadership around the world.

Thank you for the opportunity to get involved in the CISM Live Series. We really enjoyed it.

Thank you for this well thought out program with combinations of information to use during critical incidents and the importance of Last Responders.

From the ICISF Team, Thank You to All Fatality Management Workers and Last Responders!

What an amazing and much needed project, thank you Rima and Peter. Great to see ! Thank you Kelly for another great Live Series programme.

A behavioral health response, an important perspective. Thank you for sharing this.

Really enjoyed listening and learning. Internationally, on-line learning is the way to go. Nice and important to see that the skills practicing courses can be done on-line, as well. Will check out your field guides in your book store, as well. Warmest regards.

Very interesting; very helpful. I will share with our peer supporters.

Join ICISF at 2:30 PM EST for this special RU-vid Premiere of our conversation with Oliver Barbour & Charlotte Copeland! Ollie & Charlotte will be answering questions related to this discussion from today until Friday, May 14 at 12:00 PM EST. Leave a message in the comments section! :)

This discussion had to be pre-recorded due to technical difficulties. Thank you everyone for your patience. If you have questions for our guest speakers, Lt. Steven Thomas, CCISM & Jennifer Corbin, LMSW, please ask them in the chat for this video. Our guest speakers will be monitoring and responding to comments until 12:00 PM EST on May 7, 2021. Thank you and we hope you enjoy the CISM content being discussed today.

Why are EMS responders being left out of these discussions? There is more than just police and fire! What about the 911 center personnel as well to be included? I have been asking these same questions ever since my first World Congress a number of years ago.

Thank you so much Jeff. This is very important information. Be safe and Be Blessed. Margie Conrad

The timing on hearing this is just perfect. It is really helpful to be reminded in Psychological Body Armor. I will be adding this to my Resilience Tool Kit. I will share this with our CISM Team and Peer Support Program. Be Blessed, Margie Conrad,

Excellent.... I will share this across our World Vision global partnership. Warmest regards.

Wow..... such an important learning. I will include this perspective in our current distance peer support services.

Again, very helpful. This also applies to the humanitarian aid world, especially the emergency relief worker. I’ll share this with my peer support colleagues here at World Vision.

Wow. “... Having a moment of calm...” so simple, powerful, important. Keep these brief vlogs coming. Very helpful.... in just a few short minutes, I and my team learn something. And keeps us connected to the ICISF / CISM family. Warmest regards from World Vision.

Timely and helpful. I’m sharing this with my colleague peer supporters here at World Vision. Thank you so much.

I like CISM Perspectives from Marc Junkerman on Daily Mantra. Very solid helpful and will bring people together.

Please keep these brief VDO’s coming.... very helpful.

Thanks, Jeff. Very helpful. Will stand by for additional guidance. Here at World Vision will give a focus on getting out educational messages on self care for self, your team and family....and touching bases with individuals checking if physiological and safety needs are being met. Perhaps our biggest surprise, and you talked about this, is our internet connections and bandwidth are surprisingly good. Even in the most distant locations across Africa, South Asia, the Middle East and Central America. Having trained Peer Supporters in these locations sure has helped.
