“Stress is a story that wants to be shared and needs to be heard.” Vice President of Mission and Ministry and ACPE Certified Chaplain Educator Jay Perez presents Six basic, adaptable principles upon which to build crisis support groups of various kinds. This course is designed for chaplains providing care in the clinical setting, often called to provide brief, time-limited end-of-shift debriefings for care teams facing stress, cumulative grief, and other critical incidents. It leads through a transformative care model that begins with hearing the stress story and pointing a way forward to resilience and hope. This course reflects our “Love Me” service standard as spiritual caregivers extending the healing ministry of Christ to interdisciplinary team members.

Upon participation of this module, the participant will have the understanding to:

1. Introduce six foundational principles upon which to build support groups.
2. Present a tool for providing end-of-shift staff support.
3. Provide a crisis care model able to be facilitated in as little as 30 minutes.
4. Encourage the use of story-sharing and incident debriefing as a method of CISM-informed care.
