What Is Stress Inoculation Training (SIT)



SIT has been employed on a treatment basis to help individuals (your employee's) cope with the aftermath of exposure to stressful events and on a preventative basis to "inoculate" individuals to future and ongoing stressors. SIT is a flexible individually-tailored multifaceted form of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Employee's are encouraged to view perceived threats and provocations as problems-to-be-solved and to identify those aspects of their situations and reactions that are potentially changeable and those aspects that are not changeable.

In plain English we teach folks to understand trauma, as well as day to day conflict with the public, in a way that allows them to reach as much distance from it emotionally as possible. We do this through a series of on-site group learning experiences which are then supported in the long run with both on going private contact and annual refresher meetings. We tailor training to your staff needs and times that fit with their schedules.

In addition we're prepared to provide critical incident stress debriefing by licensed and experienced professionals at the highest level of competency available.
