Since 2003, the Baltimore County Fire Department Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) team has provided around-the-clock peer based support, intervention, and stress management education to career and volunteer emergency responders as well as their families while maintaining the highest level of confidentiality.
Our goal is to reduce critical incident stress on department personnel and prevent the long-term impact from traumatic stress. In addition to individual assistance, the team can be activated for a fatality or serious injury of a member or family member, death or serious injury involving a child, or just about any “bad” call at the recommendation of a coworker.
Critical Incident Stress Management Team
The CISM team is available 24 hours a day by calling the Administrative Duty Officer (ADO) at 410-307-2052. Individual listings of contacts can be found below.
