A crisis can be difficult for anybody to cope with, and many times crises are recurring situations for an individual suffering from mental illness or a substance use disorder. We are here to help you through every aspect of recovery. Let us call you to learn more about our treatment options. For many people, the ability to handle change is something that is learned over time, and recurring crises can make this more difficult.
A crisis may cause a person to lose their ability to cope with stress, trauma, grief, guilt, shame, or any other dilemma causing them to lose their mental balance, or even relapse back into substance abuse. For the most part, both crisis and crisis interventions occur without notice. Conducting a crisis intervention assessment as quickly as possible may be necessary to help a person regain a sense of control and balance in their life.
The first stage of a crisis intervention is the assessment stage, during which time an individual is assessed for how a crisis has affected them or their mental state.
There are three types of assessment that need to be conducted in a crisis situation. Community Situations - neighborhood violence, inadequate housing, a lack of community resources, and inadequate educational programs illustrate some ways the community may contribute to family crises. Significant Life Events - events that most view as happy, such as a marriage, the birth of a child, a job promotion, or retirement, can trigger a crisis in a family; a child enrolling in school, the behaviors of an adolescent, a grown child leaving the home, the onset of menopause, or the death of a loved one can also be very stressful life events.
Natural Elements -crises are created by disasters such as floods, hurricanes, fires, and earth quakes, or even extended periods of high heat and humidity, or gloomy or excessively cold weather. Worker Responsibilities CSO case workers and disability program specialists can have a major lasting impact on their clients' lives and assist other CSO staff by responding appropriately and promptly to client crises. If necessary, CSO staff my consult with case workers and disability program specialists to resolve client-related crisis situations.
The successful resolution of an emergent situation can do much to strengthen the case worker's bond of trust with their client, and set the stage for a cooperative and productive future relationship.

Crisis intervention refers to the methods used to offer short term immediate help to individuals who have experienced an event that produces mental, physical, emotional and behavioural distress.
Chronic exposure to stress or trauma can lead to mental illness. Therefore, it is important that counsellors have the skills and knowledge to help clients cope with their current stressors and trauma. Crisis counselling is not intended to provide psychotherapy or similar, but offers a short-term intervention to helps clients receive assistance, resources, stabilisation and support.
Crisis intervention differs from other counselling interventions in that it focuses on short-term strategies to prevent damage during and immediately after the experience of trauma. Crisis intervention has several purposes. It also helps the individual return to the level of functioning they were at before the incident. There is also an educational component to crisis intervention. The individual will be advised of the normal reactions to an abnormal situation.
The individual will be told that their responses are temporary and that there is not a specific time that the person can expect to recover from the crisis.
