CIRP Individual Crisis Intervention

This course covers the core elements of a comprehensive crisis-intervention curriculum, preparing participants to understand and provide various crisis-intervention services.

Course Content

Individual Crisis Intervention and Peer Support

This course is designed to teach participants the fundamentals of, and a specific protocol for, individual crisis intervention. Crisis intervention is NOT psychotherapy; rather, it is a specialized acute emergency mental health intervention which requires specialized training. As physical first aid is to surgery, crisis intervention is to psychotherapy. Thus, crisis intervention is sometimes called “emotional first aid.”
