TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Enhancing the crisis management briefing JO - International journal of emergency mental health A1 - Clark, Daniel W. A1 - Volkmann, Peter SP - 133 EP - 140 VL - 7 IS - 2 N2 - The Crisis Management Briefing (CMB) is a powerful and versatile crisis intervention tool, effective within a wide variety of populations, settings, and critical incidents. Initially proposed by Everly (2000), the CMB uniquely fills the factual information void following a critical incident. Additionally, a CMB provides essential information on effective coping strategies and available helping resources, tailored to the specific incident(s). The authors expand on the original CMB construct using their combined field experience, offering recommendations on team composition, strategic planning factors, using CISDs vs. CMBs, and specific enhancements for the four phases. They conclude with examples of specific interventions across a variety of events to illustrate their recommendations.
