During the summer of 2022, Madison County endured another critical incident that weighed heavily on the first responders involved. The question arose, " Do we have any help to offer our first responders after a critical incident?" After much research, discussions, and thought, Madison County Emergency Management hosted a Critical Incident Stress Management Training Class over three days in January 2023 with Instructor Carol Staben Burroughs, with a stunning 47 participants from various counties in Montana in attendance. After such a fantastic turnout, the idea of forming a Madison County team transformed into a combined team with our neighboring county, Beaverhead. Jennifer Martens with Madison County and BJ Klose with Beaverhead County began the Madison/Beaverhead County CISM Team on March 8,2023, with a fantastic support system. Unfortunately, in the first responder world, the heaviness of the incident doesn't stay at the scene. It follows everyone home. They still push through and get up the next shift to do it again selflessly. When there are critical incidents in our counties, we can schedule a debrief with the first responders who are directly involved, whether volunteers or paid. The events of the incident are gently unpacked with no blame shifting. Resources are provided locally and non-locally; some are anonymous if anyone wants to talk privately. Supporting your brothers and sisters in the first-responder world is essential. Our job is to assist the public during their worst days, reach out, and offer a hand to our fellow responders when they struggle. We are all in this together.
