Welcome to CFD CISD/Peer Support information page

What Is C.I.S.D. and Peer Support?

CISD stands for Critical Incident Stress Debriefing. Critical incident debriefings are facilitator-led processes conducted soon after a traumatic event for a group of people who are experiencing or at risk for a stress reaction. The best practice is for a CISD to occur within 72 hours.

Carlsbad Fire has dedicated members who are trained to facilitate these events. These members are also trained in Peer Support.In peer support programs for responders, responders provide support for each other. Support may include reflective listening and other types of emotional support, as well as helping with response after a critical incident.

If you or a member of the Department or someone in a related field is struggling with an issue, please feel free to reach out to a member of your preference on your team. If you have complaints, suggestions or concerns in regards to the team, feel free to bring them to our attention. We Are Here.

If you are reaching out from an outside Dept. please feel free to get in contact with the shift commander, they can be reached at (575) 885-3125 and they can get you in contact with one of our members.
