The Post Event Huddle (PEH) is a simple universal four-step approach for facilitators to follow. It enables a shared understanding of an event and allows any concerns to be discussed.

​

Having a PEH gives the team an opportunity to stop and take a moment to thank the team members. It creates a safe space for people to share their feelings, and acknowledge that these events can have differing effects on people. Immediate support following an event can be offered and, if required, suggestions for follow-up support provided
