As a Critical Incident Stress Management Counselor; the community pulled together in a talking circle and gave each other confidence to open their “story” or feelings.   As for the school: the talking circle was set up by grade ( up to 6^th/7^th grade, then 9^th to 12^th grade) discussion was made to ensure healing awareness and the signs of needing further counseling was given and recommended.  Younger children in school were given a story and two counselors role played by explaining a specific incident, who acted/reacted naturally, and what can be done and to who the children can talk with an adult/counselor about the incident.  Each agency was broken down by 1^st responders and incident supporters (front desk clerks/dispatcher/family & friends).  A debriefing was completed in a healing circle.  At times, those who did not participate in the healing circle were invited one on one for a debriefing.   Further counseling was recommended most of the time by their assigned Behavior Health Aide or by the assigned psychiatrist.   Community activities were recommended; A weekly luncheon was recommended with ALL 1^st Responders with an invite of staff supporters.
