This course offers an understanding of how a crisis can impact the life of an individual. A variety of crises are explored, including but not limited to, PTSD, types of abuse, community disasters, substance abuse, crises of lethality, crisis of loss, and sexual assault.
Crisis intervention aims to assist the individual in recovering from the crisis and to prevent serious long-term problems from developing. We do this by talking about what happened and the feelings about the situation, while developing ways to cope and solve problems.
