Critical Incident Stress Management Services


Dr. Garlock has been providing Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) services since 1990. He has provided these services in over 350 critical incidents in the greater Houston metropolitan area. He has provided CISD services in traumatic and critical incidents including bank robberies, store robberies, employee deaths, deaths of employee family members, accident related deaths, plant explosion and fires and car and motorcycle accidents. He is pleased to offer these state of the art services to managed care companies, employee assistance programs and to municipal government entities when the services are requested.

He is trained in the Mitchell Model of Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) and Management services. The Mitchell Model is a model of service delivery in critical incidents that provides individuals the opportunity to process traumatic events through a structured process that ameliorates the impact of the stressors leading to a normal reaction and adjustment to the stressors. CISM services include a variety of structured approaches that allow involved individuals to experience and process the critical events in a safe and research proven way that prevents the internalization of the events. By participating in a CISD, an individual can most avoid the development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and related problems like depression and anxiety. These CISM services are provided on site or near the site of the traumatic event. Recent traumatic events that involved employees who received CISM services include 9/11, the Houston floods and the Oklahoma City bombing, to name a few. The recovery of these population centers and the affected individuals who were involved in these catastrophic events was positively impacted by the application of CISM services around the time that these events occurred.

If you or your loved ones or your company or employees have experienced a critical incident, contact Dr. Garlock to arrange for CISM services for those affected by the critical incident. He is pleased to offer his services to managed care companies and to employee assistance programs whenever the services are needed. Anyone needing these services can contact Dr. Garlock in order to request and arrange for these services to be provided.

Dr. Garlock has completed the Basic Course in Critical Incident Stress Management during the 1990’s and has just completed the Advanced Course in Critical Incident Stress Management. Both of these training programs were provided through the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF) which sponsored both of these training events. He is a member of the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation.

Given Dr. Garlock’s level of CISM training and his wide range of experience, he offers a proven service that works to assist employees and their families and individuals to get through even the most traumatic of events.
