2009 – Present Three-Day Post Critical Incident Seminar (PCIS) for Law Enforcement
Therese A. Rando, Ph.D., BCETS, BCBT (6)
Personnel and First Responders – South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia Serve as multidisciplinary team psychologist/thanatologist in PCIS programs in these states. With goals of permitting both recovery from the traumatic effects of past critical incidents and resilience for future ones, these intense programs are derived from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) model operating since 1983. Participants share their experiences with others currently struggling with similar issues and with trained peer support members who previously were similarly affected, thereby receiving support for and normalization of what are construed as pathological experiences. They are provided psychoeducation about trauma, loss, coping, meaning making, self-medication issues, and family relationships to facilitate healing and recovery. Through large group discussion, small group interaction, and personal one-on-one consultation with licensed therapists familiar with law enforcement issues, posttraumatic stress, and the proven trauma recovery method of EMDR, participants are enabled to process their traumatic stress reactions. In some states, medical massage for stress is also an option. Spouses/ partners of participants are invited to attend and receive similar services to enable them to understand and support the affected individual and to mitigate adverse impacts on the relationship.
2016 – Present The Traumatic Loss Seminar ([TLS] formerly The Sudden Traumatic Loss Seminar ™). Serve as Clinical Director of multidisciplinary team providing an intensive, four-day program designed to assist law enforcement and other first responders, along with their significant others, to cope with personal traumatic loss. It is based upon the highly successful Post Critical Incident Seminar (PCIS), which was derived from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) model created in 1983 to focus upon assisting law enforcement to cope with distressing consequences of traumatic incidents and to build resilience for future ones. The TLS incorporates elements which appear to provide a unique constellation of “curative factors” (Yalom, 1995) that render it an unparalleled therapeutic experience for traumatic bereavement. It integrates trained peer support; large and small group work; psychoeducation about trauma, loss, coping, meaning making, self-medication issues, and family relationships; therapeutic ritual; medical massage; and personal one-on-one consultation with licensed mental health therapists familiar with law enforcement and public safety issues, posttraumatic stress, and the trauma recovery method of EMDR.
