Crisis Intervention

Students will be provided with broad based, holistic information about the nature of crisis intervention and prevention work, and the theoretical rationale necessary for making informed practice decisions. The specific application of crisis theory onto advanced generalist practice is intended to inform students of issues relevant to conducting the practice of social work during a crisis situation, immediately following crisis, and in situations where the social worker may be faced with the task of assisting an individual, family, group, or community in dealing with the long- term effects of a crisis experience.
