Crisis Services

Having crisis services available is great for countless people, especially those on their recovery journey. Services can benefit anyone suffering from depression, suicidal thoughts, domestic abuse, anxiety, trauma, grief, and/or depression.

Remember, crisis care is different from an emergency situation. If you or a loved one is in danger, don’t hesitate to call 911 for immediate help.

Crisis Debriefing

Critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) is a specific group process conducted after a traumatic event. This is used in an effort to break down stress from a crisis incident or threatening situation such as tragedy, death, or injury.

Not to be confused with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), crisis incident stress is stress and trauma connected to threatening situations.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) identifies certain critical incident stress reactions like:

  • Fatigue
  • Nightmares
  • Dizziness
  • Chest pain
  • Poor decision making
  • Poor concentration
  • Grief
  • Antisocial behaviors
  • Drug misuse
  • Chronic anxiety
  • Poor problem-solving skill

Crisis debriefing is done best by following multiple steps. These steps include:

  • Individual counseling sessions
  • Follow-up care
  • Support services

Crisis Counseling

Counseling resources are incredibly useful for all kinds of mental health journeys, especially crisis care. Counseling helps people in managing trauma by offering assistance and support.

During counseling sessions, a patient will address the traumatic situation head-on and focus on their response to it with the help of a licensed professional. In this, patients will learn how to target triggers of the event and how to overcome them by developing healthier patterns of behavior around them by calling at 859-429-5188.
