Post-Disaster Critical Incident Response Team

In the event that the University were to experience a large-scale crisis or disaster that required intervention beyond the scope of CAPS crisis intervention services, CAPS has incorporated volunteer faculty from the clinical social sciences departments into a Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) response team. This team is composed of approximately 30 professionals (CAPS staff and faculty) who are available to function in small teams to provide the U.Va. Community with post-disaster support groups and debriefings as means of mitigating the development of pathological post-trauma reactions.
