Eastern Upper Peninsula Crisis Response Team
Training
The EUPCRT meets on a quarterly basis as a team (the 2nd Thursday of Feb, May, Aug, & Nov). During
those meetings we do a review of some aspect of CISM for the first half of the meeting. We review
the CISM “tools” to help keep them fresh in our minds so that we can better respond when called
upon in our community. Since we are a multi-county team, we meet via ZOOM for our meetings. If
you’d like to join us for one of our meetings please send a request via email (listed on our Contact
Us page).
We Recommend Additional Training Beyond Group and Individual
Courses
ICISF (International Critical Incident Stress Foundation) offers an abundance of courses to better
equip responders to help their peers. Our team is a member of the Michigan Crisis Response
Association (MCRA) and follows their guidelines for training and we utilize their annual training
conference held in September of each year. This conference usually offers four or five courses from
the ICISF materials.
Upper Peninsula based training
We are fortunate enough to have an ICISF-Approved Intructor on our team. This means that we can
plan for and receive CISM training without having to travel outside of the UP. Courses are taught as
needed and as requested throughout the UP. Watch the space below for upcoming trainings.
