Post-Action Strategic Debriefing: Procedural workbook and integrated leader's guide

In the line of duty, whether it is public-safety or another industry, there will be the inevitable critical incident on the job, which can result at times in physical injury or even fatality. The incident may also create another type of injury, more difficult to detect but often lasting much longer than a physical injury, and one that can cause safety issues in the future. Post-Action Strategic Debriefing(c) addresses the incident immediately after, using a technique of combined aspects of critical incident stress debriefing and the after-action review, as well as counseling and intervention methods. Those involved in the incident go through a guided process of reviewing the intended plan, the reality of the incident, actions to reinforce in the future and those that can be used as opportunities for positive change, . The PASD(c) process also focuses on preventing ongoing trauma effects from the incident as well as creating a positive momentum for the team to be stronger, more united, and more mentally healthy following the incident. The PASD(c) process is designed to be performed after each type of incident, with a leader's guide integrated into a step-by-step workbook format for the group to follow.
