ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
GCAT and ICISF
Green Cross Academy of Traumatology is proud of the history we have with the
International Critical Incident Stress Foundation.
Green Cross grew out of a conversation many years ago by our respective founders, Dr.
Charles Figley and Dr. Jeff Mitchell. Since that time, we have collaborated, trained and
shared resources between the two organizations to the benefit of those we serve.
As each organization has grown and changed, the mutual values and commitments remain solid and will continue to provide benefits to members of each organization. The Strategic Partnership now in place will broaden the connection and ensure members of both organizations the benefit of cutting-edge training, education, resources and opportunities.
Welcome to the GCAT family, ICISF. We are glad you are here.
