Many correctional agencies have peer teams. They are a vital part of supporting staff and building resiliency, but there are times when staff need more. One best practice is to provide staff with a post critical incident seminar (PCIS). PCIS was originally created by the FBI and later implemented for front line law enforcement and other first responders over 25 years ago. While PCIS is not a new concept, it is new for corrections.
In this webinar, participants will learn how the South Carolina Department of Corrections implemented PCIS with very promising results. Research findings will be shared from both front line law enforcement, as well as correctional staff who have participated in post critical incident seminars. Information will also be shared about how PCIS can be developed for your agency.
