About Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) As established in the literature, Crisis intervention is functionally different than clinical or therapeutic approaches. CISM and particularly, the Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, is the only model of Crisis Intervention identified by SAMHSA as an evidence-based practice. This model has been integrated with TIG since its inception in 2001 and offers a practical approach to planning and intervention in response to critical incidents.

About The Consortium on Trauma, Illness, and Grief in Schools (TIG) TIG is an innovative model which offers school personnel a variety of intensive training opportunities, resources and ongoing technical support to help students and staff cope with trauma, violence, illness, death and grief in the school setting.
