Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) has been found to potentially exacerbate symptoms of trauma in some individuals, rather than alleviate them. Therefore, it is recommended that CISD be offered as an optional resource rather than a mandatory procedure, allowing individuals to choose the support that best suits their needs, or to consider discontinuing its use entirely based on the evidence of its effectiveness.
