What is the FIRST step identified in the video that help heal or prevent a crisis?

Ascertain Safety:

Before you do anything, know the answers to the following questions:

• Has the person started to use maladaptive coping strategies, attempts at escapism that are exacerbating the problem?
• Do they need physical medical help before any psychological intervention?
• Is there someone they have access to 24/7? Someone they can call if they need to or someone who can check on them?
• Are they engaging in self-harm? This might be alcohol or drug use, out-of-character promiscuity or refusal to get out of bed or leave the safety of one room.
• Are they a threat to someone else? Have they threatened suicide?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you may need to enlist the help of other professionals. It’s handy to have a list of numbers and contacts – a community of professionals that you can call on if need be.

We’ve all heard the proverb that it takes a ‘village’ to raise a child – and sometimes it can take that whole village to help one community member in crisis.

The best crisis is the one _____ because we saw it coming and did something about it

300

What are the two broad types of crisis described in the crisis response video

energized and de-energized

Energized=can involve extreme restlessness, inability to concentrate, pacing, wringing hands, sleeplessness, obsessionality, impulsivity, risk taking. Associated with higher suicide risk

De-energized=when a person feels so trapped and helpless, or sometimes exhausted from an energized crisis, that they can’t bring themselves to do anything at all. Their life grinds to a halt. They may stop eating, washing and even talking.In this state people feel sapped of energy, almost paralysed. They lose all motivation, self-confidence and interest as feelings of powerlessness and hopelessness take over.

400

The common element to both kinds of crisis symptomatology (energized/de-energized)

Stress buildup

Stress happens when we are not meeting our basic primal emotional needs, and it builds more and more as we worry about not meeting those needs. Stress is merely a signal of ‘thirst’ or ‘hunger’ on the emotional level.

Often a person veering toward crisis will not have strong enough self-objectivity (because of the distorting effects of high emotion) to realize they need a break, to make the effort to talk to someone about what they’re going through, or to identify what needs to happen to help them out of the crisis.

2. Calm your client:
