What Processes do Crisis Coordination Team Members use?
There are four basic elements involved in the UND Crisis Coordination Team Model.
- INTERVENTION, usually a physical presence designed to prevent an action or to maintain or alter a condition.
- Physical or emotional SUPPORT of a person in crisis.
- ASSESSMENT of a situation or employing the use of colleagues and providers able to render an assessment of the situation.
- Developing a plan of ACTION or follow-up.
Things you can do to Help
