Trauma Debriefing
in Schools and Agencies

The TLC Debriefing Model fits with the uniqueness of school and agency settings. The models address the developmental issues, time and resource constraints, needs of staff as well as students/clients, administrative issues and trauma response issues.

Five debriefing models are demonstrated: Debriefing for adolescents and adults, Defusing for K-5th grade, Operational Debriefing for all staff, Debriefing the Debriefers, Crisis Team members or first respondents and Classroom Presentation which is different than debriefing and usually initiated before the start of debriefing. The TLC Debriefing Model is the outcome of work with over 1,500 professionals who have participated in debriefing training.

The purchase of the Debriefing Handbook, although recommended, is optional. It answers over 100 questions frequently asked about debriefing in schools and agencies and presents each model into a 5" x 8" format for duplication in a card format to be used during debriefing sessions. It is available to attendees for a reduced price of $25.
