Critical Incident Stress Management training (CISM)

Corrections Officer Brian Polson recently attended a Critical Incident Stress Management training (CISM) that will be a benefit for all of our staff as well as other first responders in the area. The Nebraska Critical Incident Stress Management program trains volunteer peers to provide crisis support for Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Medical Services, Corrections Officers and Dispatchers.

CISM provides education, prevention, stress coping techniques and helps mitigate the effects of stress and negative emotional reactions that interfere with a person's ability to function due to an event or the repeated exposure to events.  Corrections Officer Polson also serves for Wymore EMS and Barneston Rural Fire Department and is glad to have the training to help other responders in their time of need.
