Who We Are

 The York Region Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Team is made up of dedicated emergency service workers and mental health professionals who volunteer their time to support peers following traumatic events. As one of the few multi-disciplinary teams of its kind in Canada, we bring together peer members from all areas of emergency services.

We proudly provide support to:

  • EMS Paramedics
  • Police Officers
  • Firefighters
  • Communications and support staff for Fire, EMS, and Police
  • Hospital Emergency Department staff

Emergency service workers in York Region are highly trained and mentally prepared professionals. Yet we know that despite their resilience and experience, front-line responders are more likely to face traumatic incidents that can impact their well-being and ability to function both personally and professionally.

Through a comprehensive, multi-component approach, the York Region CISM Team promotes resistance, resilience, and recovery among those we serve.

In addition to crisis response, our team also offers training and education to other organizations. This includes courses such as ASIST (suicide first aid) and Responding to Individuals and Groups After a Critical Incident. By sharing our expertise, we help build capacity within other teams and strengthen the overall network of peer support in the emergency services community.

As a registered charity, we welcome donations to help us continue our mission. Visit our donations page to learn more about how you can support the team.
