Crisis Center Case Study

The objective of this assignment is to conduct an interview with someone who currently works in the crisis intervention, in order gain a perspective of the work or service, what it entails and how to be successful in providing what is needed to those in crisis.

Ms. Okoro has displayed her ability to identify, analyze issues and proactively solve problems by active involvement by either effectively contributing as a member or a leader in many initiatives with a departmental and/ or hospital-wide impact. This has been evidenced by the following:

For several years we have had several issues with the increasing number of operating staple of medical training for centuries. Resident physicians routinely worked 90–100 hours per week, for up to 36 consecutive hours without rest, for the entire duration of residency training. (Dhruv Khullar, 2017) A surgical resident working that many hours puts our facility at a great risk for human error, which in this case is resulting in operating room deaths. We are now experiencing an internal crisis, which is an event that is isolated within a facility.

Crisis workers take on many different roles on a daily basis. Crisis workers also come in many different career fields; they are law enforcement officers, therapists, doctors, hospital staff, and many other careers. The responsibility of each individual is broken down into several additional roles. Similar to law enforcement, a crisis worker’s job is always to protect and serve the public.

3. Validation and supportive comments “A lot of women have made it through traumatic events like this, and they’re all proof that you can do it, too.”

The importance of focusing on crisis intervention training will help to not only better understand the concept, but also to understand police crisis intervention teams. Crisis intervention training has become such an important way for police department to help their communities and especially protected groups such as the mentally ill.

In the 1940s, Gerald Caplan and Eric Lindemann, established the first ABC Model of Crisis Intervention... For this purpose, the crisis intervention method, is conducted as ephemeral, mental health interview with clients, whose functioning level has declined, as a result of a major life influential event. The ABC model is a problem-solving methodology, that is very effective if applied within four to six weeks of the stressor. The primary purpose of this approach is recognizing the cognizance of the client, as they correlate to the precipitating event, and then, help them to reduce irrepressible emotions (Kanel, 2015).

After gaining this information about how my community was affected, I decided there needed to be more awareness drawn to the existing organizations in the areas I served that addressed or worked on community health initiatives. I began contacting with local organizations to see if they might be interested in partnering with my organization on already organized events in order begin to combine efforts and to let community members know of services in their area. The event we hosted was in the form of a community event

This case involves a couple named Sally and Mike, whom lost their six-year-old son about a month ago due to cancer. Sally and Mike decided to come to counseling because Sally feels guilty for living and going on with life without her her son. Sally can’t accept that a child dies before a parent does. Sally has her mind made up that this is not a normal way of life. Mike has come along to support his wife and he states that he is going crazy because Sally is so sad about their lost and all he hears is her pleading with God to take her life and bring her son back. Mike has already made peace with himself, he feels that this is a way of life. Mike feels that the six years he spent with his son was a blessing, but his work her on earth has been done. Mike states that he has no ides wants wrong with Sally or how to help her with her grief. Mike seems to be holding up just fine.

Andrew Beckett is homosexual, and lives with another man. His lifestyle has caused Beckett to contract AIDS, and the illness is becoming a serious issue for him. Moreover, Beckett has failed to be truthful about his lifestyle. He has been lying to his associates at the law firm in which he works.

Implementation of the care plan is for Staff to follow through the care plans that are clearly set out (ie) kosher preparation is a must for him due to his religion and norm of life. Making life feel as normal as possible and for staff to understand and respect his daily life is vital. Evaluation of communication log books are filled in every shift and reported back to the office and are reviewed every 3 months to see if any risks or issues need checked for a risk assessment or re-evaluation of care plan need.

In psychology, crisis intervention models are designed to help mental health professionals in dealing with a variety of situations. This is because the conditions surrounding patients, their friends or family have become severe enough that some kind of intercession is necessary. In the case of drug abuse, these tools are utilized to address the underlying problems and introduce possible solutions. To fully understand the best approach requires comparing crisis intervention techniques. This will be accomplished by: examining two different crisis intervention models and psychological first aid strategies. Together, these elements will highlight the most effective tactics for reaching out to individuals who are suffering from substance abuse.

Here is the final version of the crisis management strategy report which was commissioned by yourself on Monday 5 May 2014.

What particular aspects of Crisis Intervention did you notice the counsellor utilising in the video?

This case study is about a couple, Mike and Sally that have recently lost their 6-year-old son to cancer. They have decided to get counseling because Mike is unsure how to help Sally, she is having a difficult time coping with this loss, she cannot register how a child can die before a parent. Mike is handling this loss differently, he feels like this is the life cycle, and doesn’t quite know what to do to help Sally. When speaking to this couple I would start with the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention which will help Sally and Mike get comfortable with speaking to me. “The ABC Model of Crisis Intervention is a method of conducting very brief mental-health interviews with clients whose functioning level has decreased following a psychosocial stressor” (Kanel,2015). There are three stages in the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention. Stage one in the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention is to develop and maintain rapport between the counselor and client. This means that the counselor does what they can to help the client feel at ease, some ways to do this are making eye contact, showing warmth, compassion and empathy to allow the client to feel that they are safe and can talk to the professional openly. When the clients feel more comfortable it makes it a safe place for them to talk about the issues they may be having at home. Establishing a good relationship with the client must consist of being supportive and not being judgmental. Once this goal is achieved we will be able to move
