DIY-Debrief: Do It Yourself
Importance of Debriefing
Debriefing after an action is crucial not only to discuss what happened but also to connect, support each other, and reflect on the journey. It allows us to share our experiences, learn from them, and strengthen as a group. Each individual's perspective is unique, and coming together for a debrief helps in navigating those experiences, enhancing personal well-being, and building collective resilience and effectiveness (p.1).

Check-In
The first step is to check in, allowing each group member to share their experience with the action. This helps set the tone for the debrief and provides insights into everyone's perspectives and feelings. Questions like why they attended, what they experienced, and what they aim to take away can guide the discussion (p.1).
