What is Crisis Intervention in Social Work

Crisis intervention in social work is a short-term, goal-oriented approach to helping individuals who are in the midst of a crisis. It is designed to reduce the individual's distress, help them cope with the crisis, and prevent further deterioration. Crisis intervention can be used to address a wide range of issues, including:
Mental health issues (e.g., depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation)
Substance abuse
Domestic violence
Other traumatic events (e.g., natural disasters, accidents, crime)
Social workers who specialize in crisis intervention are trained to assess the individual's situation, identify their needs, and provide appropriate interventions. This may include:
Providing emotional support and validation
Helping the individual to develop coping mechanisms
Connecting the individual with resources and services
Assessing and managing risk of harm to self or others. For more details visit -www.socialworkin.com/2022/04/...
