What People Say
Ben Ahlin
“I have taken a couple of CSIM classes at the IACRT and I have greatly benefited from them. The tools I have picked up from these courses have been invaluable to me as a chaplain/peer support team member. I am better equipped to assist individuals or groups in crisis than I was prior to taking the courses.”
Dr. Catherine A. Pankonien
“Midwestern State University has worked with The International Academy for Crisis Response Training (IACRT) to provide classes for first responders for three years. The instructors are excellent! They are very well versed in the courses they teach and use their own personal experiences to enhance the content.”
Melanie Howington
“Some of our chaplains recently attended the CISM Assisting Individuals in Crisis class taught by the IACRT. It was very helpful and added other tools to our toolbox for when we encounter people in crisis. I would recommend this class to other chaplains.”
Sandy L. Lamb
“Our Peer Support Team has partnered with Fran Graham and other instructors from IACRT to provide our Peer Support Group with functional classes and teachings. Their teachings have provided our group with essential strategies in crisis management and peer to peer intervention. The quality of these classes have not only been exceptional but also easily understandable to all of our members. I highly recommend this company and their instructors.”
Jacob A McConkey
“I have attended a numerous training courses, seminars and workshops and have received quarterly training our organization’s Mental Health Providers. This month I had the pleasure of taking an ICISF Group Crisis Intervention CISM course presented by the IACRT. In an Industry that can often be exposed and involved in some pretty horrendous events and the potential emotional and physical buildup from those events, CISM courses are very beneficial in long term health and outcome of First Responders at large. ”
