Crisis workers make split-second decisions every day that affect
the mental health and well-being of individuals, families, and
entire communities. They support and guide people through health
diagnoses, bankruptcies, sexual assaults, deaths of loved ones,
suicide attempts, and natural or man-made disasters from the front
lines. While professions vary from mental health professionals,
emergency responders, educators, business managers or volunteers
such as suicide hotline workers, all have a common and urgent need
for a rapid reference that covers every type of traumatic event
they may be asked to respond to in the course of an unpredictable
and highly stressful day.
The Pocket Guide to Crisis Intervention is a complete crisis
toolkit, a trusted resource to consult on the fly, packed with
easy-to-follow, step-by-step evidence-based protocols for
responding effectively to a broad range of traumatic events.
Checklists, bullets, and boxes highlight symptoms & warning
signs and provide action plans, do's & don'ts, and screening
& assessment questions. The open layout and two-color design
make this pocket guide as visually appealing as it practical,
ensuring at-a-glance lookup of the essentials of managing the most
common types of crisis.
More than just a collection of action lists, though, this pocket
guide explains theories and models in clear, jargon-free language,
offering tips for clinical practice, treatment planning, referrals,
and coordinating services as needed. It can be used as a field
manual for seasoned professionals or as a training tool for new
recruits and practitioners seeking to sharpen their skills.
