Critical Incident Group Debriefing (CIGD) face to face

Critical Incident Group Debriefing (CIGD) is a short-term intervention designed to support people after a distressing or unusual event – something that falls outside of everyday experience and challenges our ability to cope.

Overview

Critical Incident Group Debriefing (CIGD) is a process used to intentionally respond to a traumatic incident. It is a facilitated, often peer-led conversation in which a group who has gone through a traumatic event has the opportunity to talk about their experiences. The facilitators normalize and validate the group’s experiences and provide resources in an effort to promote psychological healing.

CIGD normally occurs shortly after the event (between one day and two weeks following) and is often a one-time meeting, but it is not a stand-alone intervention. Rather, it is one consideration amongst other interventions that an organization or community might use to support each other.

CIGD uses a simple model to approach the complex realities after a traumatic event. It consists of four stages or steps:
