Continuing education: Critical Incident Desensitization (CiD) Training

Continuing education for Mental Health Professionals

In the field and in clinical settings, clinicians sometimes encounter individuals who have experienced a recent event that causes them significant distress and impaired levels of functioning. CiD is an early crisis intervention, which uses eye movements (or other bilateral stimulation) to rapidly reduce vivid images and intense emotions associated with a critical incident.
This is no fee to attend.
