Prevention and Crisis Intervention

Catalog description

This course examines the role of the human services professionals in delivering both prevention and crisis intervention services. Human services professionals often have the opportunity to provide prevention services that build on the strengths of the client, thereby increasing protective factors and decreasing risk factors. At the same time when a client is in crisis, human services professionals work to ensure safety and minimize the trauma. The knowledge and techniques needed to implement prevention programs and practices, and respond to individual, family, and community crises will be addressed in this course.
