25 years of crisis intervention service: rescuer in times of need in the Miesbach district!
The Crisis Intervention Service (KID) in the Miesbach district recently celebrated a remarkable anniversary: 25 years of commitment to people in emergency situations. On this special occasion, numerous guests gathered in the Waitzinger Keller to honor the impressive work of the volunteers. Mercury reports that the celebrations began with a thanksgiving service led by Dean Michael Mannhardt, who called for gratitude and strength. At the ceremony, Alois Winderl, one of the founding members, recalled the beginnings of the KID in the 1990s and the close community that has grown since then.
The KID volunteers carry out around 100 missions every year to help people in exceptional situations. Whether it's the sudden loss of a relative or other traumatic events, support is provided not only on site, but also in the aftermath. KID leader Martin Hauder emphasized that the team's work begins after the fire brigade, police and rescue services are deployed, and the operations often take many hours. The BRK adds that crisis intervention serves to reduce psychological trauma at an early stage and acts as a preventive measure against post-traumatic stress disorders.
The importance of the stakes
The KID's commitment is often indispensable in emergencies. The emergency services encounter people in shocking situations, such as the sudden death of a child or the delivery of deadly news. Such moments take people unprepared from their everyday lives. The crisis intervention teams ensure that those affected are comforted and relieve psychological stress. The intervention ideally takes place directly at the scene of the event.
District specialist service manager Josef Schön emphasized the immense importance of such operations at the celebrations. Deputy District Administrator Jens Zangenfeind and Mayor Gerhard Braunmiller praised the dedicated work of the volunteers, who often work in the background and refuse medals or gifts. Their humanity and the many stories behind the operations make the work of the KID something very special, as district operations manager Benedikt Dörder emphasized.
Professional team and training
The training of KID employees follows strict guidelines in order to optimally prepare the emergency services for the challenges. As the Maltese show, special training is required so that they can intervene professionally in extreme situations. These training courses are important not only for your own support, but also for relieving the burden on other emergency services, who often suffer from difficult experiences themselves.
At the end of the ceremony, guests had the opportunity to share personal memories and stories that reflect the community's deep connection to this important service. The successful path of the crisis intervention service impressively shows how important such initiatives are in our everyday lives and how they actively support people in times of crisis.
