Chaplain Bill Martin blends over 40 years as a Peterborough Paramedic with over 15 years as an Ordained Minister into the role of the Emergency Services Chaplain trained in Critical Incident Stress Management. Throughout his career as a Paramedic he has personally had first hand experience in dealing positively and negatively with the stresses involved in the EMS profession on his own. As a full-time paramedic and pastor, Bill has dedicated himself to providing the men and women of the Emergency Services with the spiritual, physical and emotional support they need to effectively cope with the critical incident stresses they face each day so they don’t have to face it on their own.

He is a an approved trainer with the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICIST) in Individual Crisis Intervention and Peer Support and Group Crisis Intervention.

He is also a member in good standing with the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF); Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation (CCISF); American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress (AAETS) as a Board Certified Crisis Chaplain (BCCC) working closely with the National Center for Crisis Management (NCCM); Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists and Psychotherapists (OACCPP)

Crisis Intervention is NOT psychotherapy; rather, it is a specialized acute emergency

mental health intervention which requires specialized

training. As physical f irst aid is to surgery, crisis intervention

is to psychotherapy. Thus, crisis intervention is

sometimes called “emotional f irst aid”. Designed to present

the core elements of a comprehensive, systematic and

multi-component crisis intervention curriculum, this

course wil l prepare participants to understand a

wide range of crisis intervention services for both the individual and for groups.

CISM: Individual Crisis Intervention and Peer SupportThis two day program is an objective and nonjudgmental resource from which employees may voluntarily request support and assistance in working through personal and occupational problems with specially trained co‐workers.Peer Support is designed to complement other behavioral health services; it does not replace professional care. Peer support provides a way for employees to "talk‐out" problems with specially trained co‐workers who "walk in their shoes" and want to help. Peer Support members are trained to use active listening skills, help clarify issues and explore options, support the person through their problem‐solving process and/or refer them to professionals as appropriate.

CISM: Group Crisis Intervention This two day program is designed to present the core elements of a comprehensive, systematic and multi-component crisis intervention curriculum. The two day course prepares participants to understand a wide range of crisis intervention services including pre and post incident crisis education, significant other support services, on-scene support services, crisis intervention for individuals, demobilizations after large scale traumatic incidents, small group defusing and the group intervention known as Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD).
