Crisis Intervention: Life-Threatening Incidents

Crisis intervention: A crisis situation is usually a sudden, unexpected, life-threatening, limited event and may limit the ability of a person to adapt to an adaptive response. In these major events, extreme events can cause personal crisis, traumatic stress, as well as post-traumatic stress disorder. In general, the crisis can be described as an event that occurs when people face problems that can not be solved or solved. Unresolved events cause anxiety, tension, long-term inactivity, and ongoing emotional confusion.

The two major crisis intervention models are Albert Roberts' seven stages of crisis intervention model (explained by concise treatment and crisis intervention) and Mitchell's main event stress management intervention system (International Crisis Response Stress Foundation and International Crisis response) As described in Journal of Emergency Mental Health. Biopsy assessment should include at least the client's environmental support and stress factors, medical needs and medications, current drugs and alcohol, and domestic and international countermeasures and resources. In order to evaluate the fatality rate, it is necessary to judge whether the suicide attempt has started or not before continuing to maintain the possibility of client's self injury. For example, imminent danger must be judged whether the person is currently subject to domestic violence, violent stalker, or sexual abuse.

A normal crisis situation is coincidental throughout life. Crisis is triggered by external, internal, or singular or cumulative, specific, meaningful, threatening, identifiable events. These events can be called dangerous events. If habitual response does not go well, a positive crisis will occur, causing uneasiness and uncertainty. The crisis can be divided into developmental, situational, social or complex. Everyone develops a developmental crisis as people experience transitional periods and lifecycle changes (adolescence and seniority, etc.). Situational crises are caused by undeveloped accidental trauma and are usually specific to individuals or families. The social crisis includes greater social or cultural events and reactions, such as discrimination and persecution, and the impact on specific individuals and families. If reactivation of the current trauma responds to the loss that had previously been sedated from consciousness, a complex crisis will occur. (Parad, 1965)

A sudden crisis often occurs and the usual coping mechanism is compromised. Crises can be caused by events such as suicide or accidental death, serious injuries from students or staff, violence, natural disasters, and other events. In many cases, it may break the school's balance, trigger students, parents' emotions, and school staff. "School crisis management handbook: post-crisis intervention and psychological support" is designed to support the school by providing appropriate intervention and support services to affected teachers and students after the crisis. The handbook introduces the basic principles and operational procedures for crisis intervention and psychological support and provides an appendix including the school crisis management team framework, roles and functions, checklist, sample press release and parent letter, reference Offers.
