Crisis Interventions

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course combines the historical underpinnings of the theory and the philosophical approach to practice with direct application of theory in providing time- limited crisis intervention in diverse practice settings. Classroom participation in exercises with crisis intervention case studies is expected, to demonstrate application of short-term crisis stabilization concepts and techniques, and comfort and confidence in responding to crisis. Topics include triage, crisis assessment, crisis management, and stabilization focused approaches, documentation, and strength-based coping skills.
