  6. RFKC is an Emotional Experience for all • Counselors and staff experience many emotions • Difficulty with closure • Staff and counselors develop and nurture a bond • After camp it may be difficult for staff to release emotions

  7. Some counselors experience intense feelings regarding the children and their difficulties • Difficulties around not being able to see the child again or have a picture of the child

  8. Why a Debriefing • Due to the many emotions experienced at camp and stress from camper behavior • Lack of skills to deal with release • Difficulties with closure • Combination of exhaustion and feelings of hopelessness • Counselors need a way to experience closure • Debriefing is Biblical!

  9. The Process • Developed a pre-camp survey • Analyzed the needs to be met • Reviewed current literature • Sought out existing models • Developed our debriefing program • Developed a post survey to evaluate debriefing process

  10. Examples of Debriefing Models • Multiple Stressor Debriefing Model • Critical Incident Stress Model (CISD) • International Training Partners Model • Critical Event Debriefing (CED) • San Bernardino Counseling Team Model

  11. Multiple Stressor Debriefing Model Phase I: Disclosing of events Phase II: Feeling and reactions Phase III: Sharing coping strategies Phase IV: Termination Used by Red Cross

  13. International Training Partners • Procedure (facts) • Process (feelings) • Perspective (objective Look) • Prayer (acknowledging God as healer) • Planning (future)

  14. Critical Event Debriefing (CED) • Developed for Soldiers • Begins 8-72 hours after traumatic event • Conducted by a professional team of debriefers

  15. San Bernardino Counseling Team Model • Introduction • Fact • Thought • Reaction • Symptoms • Unfinished Business • Teaching • Wrap-up • Round Robin

  16. Review of Debriefing Models • Rules they had in common • Confidentiality • Voluntary participation • No breaks • Not a counseling session • Not a time for criticism

  17. What we did

  18. Taught our staff about debriefing • Telling of a story • Complete with experiences and feelings from individual points of view • Debriefing is a Biblical concept: • Acts 14:27 • Acts 11:4ff • Ephesians 6:21 • Thessalonians 3: 1-6

  19. Trained Small Group Facilitators • The idea of debriefing is such a complex process, and requires a number of important skills, which include an effective Facilitator to collaborate the events of the process

  20. Established Debriefing Format • Procedure (Sharing Facts) • Process (Sharing Feelings) • Perspective (Reflect on your own reactions) • Prayer (Giving feelings/situations to God) • Planning (Looking to the future)

  21. Ground Rules • Voluntary Participation • Remain in room until meeting is over • No breaks will be taken • No cell phones/pagers are allowed • Total confidentiality • Format is rotation clockwise order • Speak only about your own experiences and feelings

  22. Ground Rules • Each member listen attentively • Be courteous do not interrupt • Do not respond to other’s experiences • Varied feelings and experiences are normal • Respect that everyone is equal though at a different place with the week

  23. Role of Facilitators • Encourage confidentiality • Encourage active participation • Facilitate group discussion • Focus on participants needs- not team needs • Listen, inform, stabilize and recover

  24. Stages of debriefing • Procedure: • “What was was the best part of camp” • “What was the hardest part of camp” • Process: • “What thoughts/reactions/ emotions did you have in conjunction with your highs and lows of the week”

  25. Stages of debriefing • Perspective: • “What would you have done differently or • changed during your week at camp?” • Prayer: • Group facilitator’s leads in prayer • Planning: • “Have you grown through this experience?” • “What do you hope to take from this experience to better • yourself and bring back to camp next year?” • “Where do you see yourself next year?” • “What Change would you make to better serve our kids?”

  26. Stages of Debriefing • Staff Questionnaire: • A chance to give written feedback, • suggestions and evaluative comments. • A change to share frustrations, concerns • and to ‘let go’
