Study Notes
Crisis Intervention and Debriefing
- Crisis intervention is needed during or immediately following a crisis situation.
- Crisis debriefing is typically helpful when conducted 24-48 hours after the crisis event.
MHPSS and Crisis Debriefing
- The main difference between MHPSS (Mental Health and Psychosocial Support) and Crisis Debriefing is that MHPSS is a broader range of interventions, while Crisis Debriefing is a specific, single-session intervention.
Psychological Debriefing
- One-off, single-session psychological debriefing should not be provided when it may cause harm, re-traumatize, or interfere with the natural recovery process.
Crisis Situation
- Immediately following a crisis situation, victims are typically in a state of shock, denial, or disorientation.
Suicidal Patients
- A common intervention for low-risk suicidal patients is contracting for safety, where the patient agrees to contact a healthcare provider or emergency services if they experience suicidal thoughts.
Risk Assessment
- The main difference between low-risk and middle-risk suicidal patients is the severity of their suicidal ideation and plans.
- Involuntary hospitalization is necessary for high-risk suicidal patients who are at immediate risk of harming themselves.
Assessing Suicide Risk
- The purpose of assessing for signs of suicide is to identify individuals at risk and provide appropriate interventions to prevent suicidal behavior.
Schizophrenic Clients
- For schizophrenic clients who are actively hearing voices telling them to hurt themselves, immediate action should be taken to ensure their safety, such as providing a calm and comfortable environment, and encouraging them to seek help from a mental health professional.
