In today’s unpredictable world, any organisation can be affected by sudden, high-stress events.

Whether it's a workplace accident, natural disaster, violent event, cybersecurity breach, or public health emergency, our team is here to help you respond swiftly, protect your people, and restore stability.


What Is a Critical Incident Response?


A Critical Incident Response is a coordinated approach to managing unexpected events that pose a threat to safety, operations, or psychological well-being. The goal is to minimise disruption, reduce harm, and support recovery  physically and emotionally. These events can happen anywhere, but are especially important to manage in high-risk or high-pressure industries. That said, no business is immune, and being prepared is vital.


Key Phases of a Critical Incident Response


Our approach typically includes the following phases:


  • Immediate Assessment

Evaluating the nature, severity, and potential consequences of the incident.

  • Emergency Action

Activating safety protocols and ensuring people are protected.

  • Communication

Informing employees, emergency services, stakeholders, and the public as needed.

  • Containment & Mitigation

Managing the situation to prevent further harm or disruption.

  • Support & Recover

Offering emotional, psychological, or logistical support to those affected.

  • Investigation & Documentation

Reviewing the incident to understand what happened and why.

  • Debriefing & Continuous Improvement

Conducting post-incident reviews to improve future response strategies.


Critical Incident Debriefing


After a traumatic or high-stress event, we provide Critical Incident Debriefing, a structured, supportive conversation that helps individuals and teams process the event and begin to recover. This process is widely used in emergency services, healthcare, military, and corporate settings to reduce psychological harm and promote resilience.


Goals of a Debriefing Session


  • Emotional Processing

Giving individuals space to share and validate their emotional responses.

  • Psychological Support

Identifying signs of stress, trauma, or PTSD and guiding people toward further care if needed.

  • Clarifying the Event

Providing accurate information to reduce confusion and dispel rumors.

  • Building Team Support

Strengthening group cohesion and shared understanding after the incident.

  • Preventing Long-Term Effects

Helping to reduce the risk of chronic stress, absenteeism, or burnout.


What to Expect in a Debriefing Session


  • Introduction

Creating a safe, confidential space and setting expectations for the session.

  • Event Review

Discussing the facts of what occurred, without blame or judgment.

  • Thoughts & Reactions

Allowing participants to express their experiences and emotional responses.

  • Symptoms & Coping Strategies

Talking about common stress reactions and healthy ways to manage them.

  • Education & Resources

Offering guidance on stress management and available support services.

  • Closure & Follow-Up

Reinforcing support networks and outlining any next steps.
