Critical Incident Triage and Early Intervention
Critical Incident Triage and Early Intervention

The International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS; 2018) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE; 2018) recommend early psychological treatment interventions within the first three months of a traumatic event for reduction/prevention of PTSD symptoms and improvement of quality of life.
