Hvad opnås ved debriefing ?:

• Debriefing giver deltagerne mulighed for at dele deres belastende oplevelser med andre i et trygt og beskyttende miljø.

Der skabes forudsætninger for:

• Klargøring af fejlagtige opfattelser af hændelsen og dens konsekvenser - medvirker til at skabe et

helt billede af hændelsen• Genkendelse, accept og diskussion af følelser

og stressreaktioner

• Reduktion af symptomdannelse ( forebyggelse af PTSD, udbrændthed m.m.)

• Hvilke kollegaer har behov for yderligere hjælp.• Styrkelse af deltagernes evne til at hjælpe

hinanden

Orientering om muligheder for yderligere hjælp• Styrkelse af team-spirit

• At man lærer på baggrund af hændelsen ( kan være til hjælp ved en senere hændelse der ligner)

Gruppen er handlekraftig igen i forhold til ny indsats
