Are you kidding me? Are you actually publishing your CISM activity. Hello, this is a confidential process and can cause emotional injury to those you provided intervention. People know who responded to this call and therefore know who you provided CISM to. I think you should return to training so that you are more aware of your responsibilities as a helper. Lord have mercy on you!

@Anonymous: Thanks for your input. I reviewed the post and have redacted the indentifying information. That a CISM team would respond to an incident such as this is common knowledge. I leaned on the side of that, and clearly you on the other. But, your point is well taken; certainly anything from the intervention itself is strictly confidential.

I'd be interested to know if what is currently posted addresses your concerns.
