Critical Incident Support

Compassionate, rapid response to crises when it matters most.

Critical Incident Support is the structured, professional assistance provided after a distressing, unexpected, or potentially traumatic event. These incidents may include workplace accidents, community crises, sudden illness, natural disasters, loss of life, security threats, or events that disrupt emotional and psychological safety.

Whether you’re a community or government service provider, pastoral organisation,  corporate workplace, or part of the resource sector, Critical Incident Support helps individuals and teams process their emotional response, regain stability, and return to functioning with clarity and confidence.

How Critical Incident Support Helps

Support typically includes:

  • On-site or online immediate response

  • Individual and group debriefings

  • Pastoral-sensitive or culturally-aware support

  • Short-term wellbeing check-ins for staff, complemented by external referral pathways to support appropriate ongoing follow-up.
