CRBHS offers crisis support as an intervention to help individuals respond to overwhelming events and experiences. Crisis support is focused on minimizing the stress of the event and assuring that safety and other basic needs are appropriately met. In addition to providing support, therapists also help clients and families to develop coping skills to deal with the immediate crisis. This may involve helping the client to explore alternative solutions to the problem, identifying and implementing stress reduction techniques, and encouraging positive thinking. This process is not just about teaching these skills to he client, it is also about encouraging the client to make a commitment to continue utilizing these skills in the future.
