Crisis Intervention is not psychotherapy; rather, it is a specialized acute
emergency mental health intervention which requires specialized training.
Crisis intervention is sometimes called “emotional first aid”.
Designed to present the core elements of a comprehensive, systematic and
multi-component crisis intervention curriculum, this course will prepare
participants to understand a wide range of crisis intervention services
for both the individual and for groups. Fundamentals of Critical Incident
Stress Management (CISM) will be outlined and participants will leave
with the knowledge and tools to provide several group crisis interventions,
specifically demobilizations, defusings and the Critical Incident Stress
Debriefing (CISD). The need for appropriate follow-up services and referrals
when necessary will also be discussed.
This course is designed for anyone in the fields of business and industry
crisis intervention, disaster response, education, emergency services,
employee assistance, healthcare, homeland security, mental health, military,
spiritual care, and traumatic stress.
