Approved Crisis Intervention Instructor

I recently attended a training seminar in Myrtle Beach and qualified to be an Approved Instructor through the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation. I have put together a training series to help churches prepare for crisis, and this ICISF course adds another important component. Most churches are not prepared to deal with the serious events that will, at some point, strike their congregations. I am hoping to help many churches become better prepared.

Beautiful Myrtle Beach - the view from the hotel. Even though it was cool in November, it was a wonderful time to visit. No crowds!

A partial view of the class. Only 26 people were in the class, but at least five countries were represented.


A look at some of those from foreign countries. Japan...Hong Kong...Rhode Island. :)

Any one of us may suffer devastating personal loss at any moment, and the recent incident in Omaha is one sad reminder that a tragic and traumatic event can happen on any day. During those times, this type of service would be invaluable. Being prepared - especially for people in Church leadership positions - would mean being of greater help to those involved, and would make a tremendous difference in their entire recovery process.

It's a good service to provide.
