The main concern both during and after a crisis incident is the students’ physical safety and mental well-being (Kousky, 2016). Disasters can damage children’s physical and mental health (Kousky 2016). To help children cope after a crisis, I would use the person center model during individual therapy. For instance, during person center therapy, counselors are genuine, and authentic (Corey, 2017). They are sensitive and understands the clients’ experience and feelings (Corey, 2017). Person center therapy also has an application to crisis intervention that I could apply after a crisis. After a crisis, people want to be heard and understood (Corey, 2017). It is important for me to listen, hear, and understand what they are going through.
Overall, crisis intervention focuses on bringing the person back to wholeness by showing acceptance, empathy and support. We want to nurture the person through the pain to help them become more dependent on the Word. When adversity comes, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit will allow us to serve others with love and compassion while helping them continue in the life path set before

The purpose of the Phinell Christian Academy Crisis Management Plan (PCACMP) is to create a plan that will provide emergency procedures that are specific to the organization’s program to ensure the physical safety of staff and children. Specifically, the PCACMP major components include (a) crisis management team/chain of command; (b) evacuation procedures; (c) emergency procedures; (d) parent reunification procedures and (e) crisis recover procedures. In general, the CMP is located in the main office and each classroom in a hard copy notebook. On the positive side, the plan is written in very simple terms for easy implementation. To simplify, the CMP includes a cover page, table of content, narrative of the major components along with floor
As has been noted, the safety of the children and staff members at Phinell Christian Academy is the highest priority. Therefore, the purpose of the emergency procedures is to provide simple guidelines to insure the safety of children and staff members in the event of an emergency. Since emergencies can escalate to crises, it is important to practice all emergency procedures with staff so they are conditioned to respond and less likely to panic. As required, the CMT continues to plan and prepare for emergencies that are likely to occur in the organization. Accordingly, all potential emergencies should still be identified in the risk assessment section of the CMP (Penuel, Statler, and Hagen, (2013). Nevertheless, the basic idea to any emergency
The purpose of this assignment is to create a crisis management plan for Mentorship Academy Athletic Department. Mentorship Academy host several athletic events throughout the school year for high school athletes to participate. Students that participates in any athletic events are at a risk for injuries than any other student and causes each sport to have a higher standard of caution and safety to protect the students’ safety. Therefore I will be completing a crisis management plan for Mentorship Academy Football Team.
Polices and Procedures a. Crisis intervention 1. Anxiety: Staff should be supporting the child by trying to remove the child from the classroom, being empathetic, non-judgemental and actively listening to what is bothering the child, many situations at the onset of crisis development are defused. 2. Defensive: the best response staff can have is the directive approach, which requires setting behavioural limits for the child. The goal is for the child to realise that the consequences of their behaviour are up to them.
" A large part of a human service professional's role in a medical or healthcare setting is to provide crisis and trauma counseling to patients and their families. A goo model for how to approach an individual or family in crisis is one developed by Abraham Maslow. Maslow (1954) created a model focus in on needs motivation"(Martin, 2014, p. 223) Having a person that can help them understand and process the unfortunate event is paramount for both the victim and the family. Using the Maslow hierarchy of needs model is a great approach while dealing with crisis and trauma. " when individuals are facing a significant crisis, they often feel compelled to get their most basic needs met." (Martin, 2014. p224) in other words in case of crisis and to get over it, people will react to their basic needs, this is like a coping mechanism of making the best out of bad situation per
In today’s society with wars and other issues that affect the world, counselors have vicarious trauma or secondary trauma stress because the interactions with clients are repetitive. The role of the counselor is to help survivors and first responders deal with the on slot of issues one could encounter, so being able to help clients incorporate ways of coping will help ease the pain from the crisis of events such as the or the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami and Charleston Church Mascara shooting. As counselors continue to see patients who are suffering, it is important to recognize when vicarious trauma or secondary trauma stress are occurring and take time not to be emotional mentally involve in living the trauma with the
An emergency can be an awful weight on any person that has or is enduring one; an emergency can leave a man with a lot of tension and stress. As an emergency mediation laborer, it is my duty to at any rate attempt to help those that come into my office. Most that do come to me are experiencing an emergency or the like and need to work through it. To help them work through their emergency I find that the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention is an incredible resource. The ABC Model of Crisis Intervention is a viable approach since I can give transitory prompt counseling. After I had built up compatibility with Jill and guaranteed that we had a proportional relationship I was then ready to proceed onward to the following stage. Arrange B of the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention is fundamentally engaged around recognizing the issue. This can be viewed as the most urgent part of the ABC Model for giving remedial communication. Recognizing the encouraging occasion is vital however investigating the customer's discernments and perceptions are much more vital. If I was
There are four elements that an adolescent will react to in a crisis situation. First, the emotional responses involve anger, shock, grief, a sense of helplessness, loss of pleasure in everyday activities, terror, guilt and even phobias. These emotional responses then result in cognitive distortions such as impaired decision making, lowered self-esteem, worry, memory impairment and nightmares. The physical effects of the emotional and cognitive changes can also be a detriment of the adolescents health due to having
Crisis intervention is emergency first aid for mental health (Ehly, 1986). In this paper, I intend to show you a brief overview of what crisis intervention is, describe what school psychologists do and summarize the steps they may use to identify, assess, and intervene with an individual experiencing crisis.
The Assessment Crisis Intervention Trauma Treatment (ACT) model was developed by Albert Roberts after the September 11th terrorist attacks. The way it works is mental health professionals, will follow a series of seven steps when responding to a crisis. The most notable include: assess the danger, establish psychological conduct, identify major problems, encourage the exploration of feelings, examine alternative strategies, implementing the plan and following up. The combination of these factors is designed to provide everyone with tools to effectively address the crisis. (Roberts, 2005)
Since the data shows that not many schools have some sort of a plan set in place, this would change what sorts of materials are brought on to the crisis site. Children “have unique physiological, psychological, and developmental attributes that make them at heightened risk during disasters” (Silverman et al., 2012). It is key to see what kind of
I will review the research article, “Service Characteristics and Counseling Outcomes: Lessons from a Cross-Site Evaluation of Crisis Counseling After Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma”. I found this to be of interest, one because of the trauma piece, two because the increase in natural disasters, and three because of the little empirical and systematic information around program assumptions. The researchers evaluated hypotheses, testing multiple factors that influence program performance. The study concluded with results yielding recommendations for achieving effective and beneficial crisis counseling / disaster relief mental health programs.
“Crisis can be defined as an unexpected occurrence that may have negative consequences, which can lead to uncertainty, instability, and, in many cases, a need for immediate action or response.” (Stein, 2006). Not only can it be unexpected, but it can also be expected. Events such as a family illness that leads to death could be expected but still create trauma. The main point of crisis is not the traumatic event that is occurring, but the impact that it has on an individual(s). In order to understand and respond to crisis, we must have a good understanding of what crisis is and its toll on children and youth. When looking at crisis, we must examine three key factors in order to be efficient in responding and taking appropriate action: They types of crisis encountered, the effects that it has on children and youth, and what ways we can accurately respond to children and youth who might be experiencing a crisis. It is imperative to respond promptly to crisis because it can have a deep impact on a child or youth.
