Live Online Training
Tuesday, March 23, 2021
12:00–3:00pm EDT

NYSED and ASWB/ACE approved for 3 CE contact hours

Given the current state of national and global turmoil, there is a strong need for effective crisis intervention and management skills within the mental health arena. The past year has been atypical and the global health crisis has resulted in major changes on the micro/individual and macro/environmental level of society. This training will aim at providing helpful ways to respond (rather than react) to crises in different settings and will offer scenarios on an individual and community-based level.

As a result of attending this seminar, participants will be able to:

• Understand the trilogy definition of crisis
• Identify and explain the ABC model of crisis intervention
• Identify evidence-based crisis intervention strategies that are best suited for different environments and different populations
• Be able to implement culturally sensitive crisis interventions
• Recognize ethical limitations of crisis interventions
• Gain a better understanding of the history/beginnings of crisis intervention
