This critical service follows ICISF standards to support First Responder organizations across the province in the aftermath of challenging incidents.

Program Overview

Facilitated by our trained team, IMPACT Debrief is designed to help First Responders process events, promote resilience, and enhance mental wellness through structured debriefings.
‍
IMPACT Debrief is a multi-phase, post-crisis, facilitated, and confidential discussion designed to identify and mitigate acute symptoms, assess the need for follow-up, and provide closure for participants.

Boots On The Ground facilitators will not take attendance or notes, ensuring strict confidentiality. We support smaller services without a peer support/CISM team and larger services that prefer a debrief facilitated by an outside agency.

Key features of the program:

Collaboration: We work directly with you to assess the need for a debriefing and ensure it aligns with your team’s requirements.
Expert Facilitation: Our team includes certified facilitators trained to deliver debriefings in accordance with recognized standards.
Tailored Support: Every debriefing is customized to address the unique needs of your team and situation.
Ongoing Excellence: Volunteers and facilitators undergo continuous training to stay updated on best practices and peer-assisted coping strategies.

Things to consider when requesting a debrief:

Holding the debrief at an off-site location whenever possible.
Only people directly involved in the incident will be allowed to attend.
(This can include dispatchers and other personnel who were involved but not at the scene)
Agencies will need to continue to follow up with their personnel after the debrief and a post care plan should be developed by the host agency.
The host agency will be permitted to invite other agencies to the debrief if desired.
