Critical incident stress management

Okay kiddo, let's talk about something called critical incident stress management. Sometimes, when people go through really difficult or scary things like a natural disaster, car accident, or even a bad argument, it can make them feel really stressed and overwhelmed.

That's where critical incident stress management comes in. It's a way for trained professionals to help people deal with their feelings and emotions after a really tough experience. They might use things like talking to someone, doing breathing exercises, or even playing games to help people relax and feel better.

Just like how you might have a band-aid put on a boo-boo, critical incident stress management is like a "band-aid" for the big feelings people have when something really hard happens to them. It helps make things feel less scary and overwhelming so they can start to feel better again.
