Mentorship Academy: Design A Specific Crisis Plan

Critical Incident The critical incident I will be discussing is a house fire that occurred recently in my neighborhood. The owner of the home Samantha was sleeping downstairs on the couch and was able to get out of the fire with minor injuries. Unfortunately, the Samantha’s boyfriend was sleeping upstairs and died in the fire. This tragic event not only took Samantha’s home

Crisis is a term defined as a disruption in an individual(s) or family's normal routine of functioning (DSHS, 2013). The main cause of a crisis can be very stressful and traumatic. Crisis for one individual may not be a crisis for another individual. According to DSHS, there are three elements that make up a crisis: a stressful situation, difficulty in coping, and the timing of the intervention (2013). Crisis can range from a minor event such as failing a class needed for graduation, to major life changes such as a death in the family or getting a divorce. Crisis intervention is a way to identify when an individual(s) is not coping properly. Everstine and Everstine describes crisis intervention as the “form of psychological help, that is focused on therapeutic contact, concentrated on the problem, that caused the crisis, limited in time, when the person is confronted with the crisis and has to solve it. That kind of help let us reduce the crisis response and minimize functional impairment” (2006).

The crisis intervention team (CIT) program is an approach for law enforcement officers to safely respond to individuals who are experiencing a mental health crisis. Since its inception in 1988 in Memphis Tennessee, the program has spread rapidly and has been described as “the most visible pre-booking diversion program in the United States. CIT develops a special team of officers who are meant to serve as first responders to individuals suspected of having a mental illness, are suicidal, or experiencing a mental health crisis. The goal of CIT is to reduce arrests of individuals who would more appropriately be diverted to the community mental health system. It is also meant to improve the safety of officers and civilians and it accomplishes this

First-aid – the person who takes duty of the session must be responsible of the first aid. This should always be available for the training session as well as other sessions. This can be provided to a person when they are injured during the match or training. This prevent more damage and injuries to your body. An example includes at a hockey game, one of the players gets hit, and first aid is immediately required to keep the payer in a stable condition. They would need medical help as soon as

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).

To be honest, I have had no formal training in counseling. In fact, because of an unproductive experience in a psychology class in college, I have not been looking forward to attending class. I was content with just using common sense, and personal experiences to assist parishioners in coping with specific situations affecting their lives. I knew God had prepared me for my job as pastor, but when I read Webb’s book, “Crisis Counseling in the Congregation”, I realized that this book would prove useful in facilitating me in becoming a better counselor. When I was assigned to Rivers Chapel as a pastor, I used strategies I had learned, in the classroom, and on my previous jobs in counseling, which were common sense and life experiences. But now, after reading “Crisis Counseling in the Congregation”, I can perceive where common sense and personal experience would have been more productive if I had had a better understanding of the techniques Webb introduced in his basis toolbox. After reading Webb’s book, I know I can be a better counselor for my parishioners, their families, and my own family.

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
