Dear Dr. Brugnoli:
Thank you for your response to our request for CISM Services for our Emergency
Services District (District) first responder personnel. The purpose of this letter is to
memorialize the agreement for providing CISM services and payment of CISM fees and
costs. From time to time, our first responders encounter tragic and stressful events. It is
hoped that by making CISM services available to first responders, it will enable them to
recover from these events in a health), manner.
As we discussed, we will request your services on an as needed basis. There will be three
main instances when the District will call upon you for your assistance.
A staff member will call you by telephone to discuss an event in order to advise
you of the situation and ask for your recommendation as how best to handle the
event.
The staff member will ask you to come into the station immediately (if possible)
or at the next shift of those responders involved in the event for a counseling
session.
You will be asked to conduct follow-up CISM sessions with the responders
involved in the event.
You have agreed to charge the District for your services as follows:
Dr. Brugnoli
