 Impact Debriefing Training
Impact debriefing is a process when a person is supported to reflect on what has happened to them in a particular situation. It is a container where a person can experience their own feelings and reactions, without judgement, in order to make sense of their response to a crisis or a challenging/disturbing event including on-going multiple-loss.
