SWK 7443 - Crisis Intervention


Credits: 3
This course provides theoretical and practical knowledge regarding best practices when clients are presenting in crisis. The course looks at crisis intervention from many perspectives and how it manifests in many different practice settings. It looks at micro (treatment of individuals who are in crisis), mezzo (such as Critical Incident Stress Debriefing), and macro (community responses to crises such as mobile crisis units, crisis hotline, ACT teams, etc.) levels of crisis intervention. Special attention is given to the unique needs of children and adolescents who are in crisis. In addition, special topics are addressed, including the crises of suicide, rape, and domestic violence, and crises associated with loss and grief (including crises experienced by caretakers and crises associated with the experience of divorce).
