Popis: This manuscript presents the pioneering use of a post-event staff debriefing tool, TALK, in Acute Child and Adolescent Mental Health Units (CAMHU). While unsuccessful in reducing the rate and severity of patient behavioural events, our centre observed promising psychological benefits for CAMHU staff as a result of debriefing, with the tool promoting emotional resiliency and providing a platform for open conversations. Debriefing also served as a venue for patient concerns with care to be raised by staff, addressed and reflected in updated care plans. This initiative demonstrates the utility of debriefing to foster a culture of learning, improve staff wellness and enhance patient safety in CAMHU settings.
