Addressing the Psychological Impact of an Event
While your After Action Review may help you process an event you responded to, it is important to address the psychological impact of the experience as well. These questions can help you become aware of the impact of the exposure to the responding event:
- How did the event impact me?
- What do I need to do to care for myself?
- How do I get closure?
- Who else is struggling? What can I do/what do I want to do for my brothers and sisters?
- How does this impact our next call/shift?
