Coaching LA Wildfires: Emotional Recovery for Crisis Response

Phase I: Emotional Triage & Stabilization

Taking a trauma-informed nonclinical coaching approach to Emotional Recovery for Crisis Response.

The data tells us that there are contributing factors to the onset of mood disorders in response to high stress situations and the repeated trauma exposure of crisis response. Having an understanding of the key factors that contribute to negative outcomes with tactical coping solutions can significantly reduce the onset and diminish negative symptoms throughout the trauma recovery period.

 

The Data Informs Us There are Clear and Strategic Steps that can Mitigate the Negative Impact of Crisis Response

6 Week Group Coaching Program: Emotional Triage & Stabilization for Crisis Response 

Before we can begin the healing process we require stabilization. There are global symptoms commonly experienced when responding to a crisis event. These symptoms naturally dissipate over time and can take, on average 3-9 months (after exposure to trauma stimuli ends). Phase I is designed to support participants in identifying, navigating, and moving through the initial stages of emotional recovery for crisis response.

First responders often experience repeated exposure to trauma stimuli and Phase I’s education component is designed to take a leadership coaching approach to support the implementation of coping strategies with prolonged trauma, high stress environments, and ongoing crisis response.
