Crisis Intervention: Template Paper

A crisis is a person’s perception of an event or experience as a difficulty which surpasses the resources and coping skills that person possesses (Jackson-Cherry & Erford, 2018). This entire paragraph should give a broad overview of crisis in general (Jackson-Cherry & Erford, 2018). Take this time to explain the different definitions of crisis and even the four crisis domains (Horsch et al., 2016).

There are many crisis intervention models, but three elements most share is assessment, safety, and support (Myer et al., 2016). This paragraph is about crisis models in general. Why were they created, what is the purpose, and how are they used. Explain how crisis models deal with the the unique characteristics of the client in order to select which crisis model is appropriate for the situation (Jackson-Cherry & Erford, 2018).

A woman who survived a sexual trauma may best be helped by a counselor who uses the model Psychological First Aid (PFA). This paragraph is about the theme of your crisis. If your fictitious crisis is about sexual trauma, then you want to use this space to talk about sexual trauma, in general, not your client (Boysen, 2015a, 2015b; Boysen et al., 2014; Dewar, 2011). No where in this intro section should you be talking about your client. This is your intro section. You only need these three fundamental paragraphs.

Fictitious Crisis

Celeste is a 23-year-old African American female, facing an unexpected pregnancy, due to a gang rape on her predominately white college campus. Celeste, a biology major, went to a party with some new “friends”. A fruit punch cocktail was served at the party. Celeste admits to drinking the punch, then going in and out of consciousness. She remembers being surrounded by a group of white males, in a small bedroom. She recalls one of them pulling her hair and making monkey noises. She vaguely remembers being urinated on, but she vividly remembers being penetrated both anally and vaginally. However, she does not remember which male(s) violated her. Celeste went to the campus police, when she woke up, two days later, but they dismissed her claim, insinuating that the sexual encounter was consensual.

The Task Model of Crisis Assessment and Intervention

This section should be an overview of your chosen crisis model (Myer et al., 2013). This is your literature review section. You are just giving a factual overview of what the research says about your chosen crisis model. This section has NOTHING to do with your client. You do not need to bring up your client at all in this section. It is just a factual review of what the literature says about your specific crisis model. Myer et al. (2013) suggest student ratings (Griffin et al., 2014; Nulty, 2008; Spooren et al., 2013). They have also examined how decision makers evaluate SET scores (Boysen, 2015a, 2015b; Boysen et al., 2014; Dewar, 2011).

Crisis Assessment Tasks

This section is a more in-depth dive into your chosen model. If this is your model, then why are there assessment tasks? What are the goals of assessment tasks? Again, this section has nothing to do with your client (Boysen, 2015a, 2015b; Boysen et al., 2014; Dewar, 2011). You are simply giving an in-depth and factual review of your model and the specifics about your model. You want to make sure you pay attention to the headings and follow along with the APA Manual and or this template. (Griffin et al., 2014; Nulty, 2008; Spooren et al., 2013).

Assessment Task 1

Assessment task one deals with blah blah bah (Griffin et al., 2014; Nulty, 2008; Spooren et al., 2013). What is Assessment Task 1 (or whatever model you have chosen, what is step one, etc). This is where you explicitly and factually explain EACH step in detail (Dommeyer et al., 2002). Again, this section has NOTHING to do with your client. You are just giving the facts, based in literature, around THIS specific step. This is still part of your literature review. Take note of the Heading and make sure you follow APA Manual and or this template. Make sure you CITE all factual sentences.

Counselor Skills and Client Roles. For now, I just want you to place this here as a place holder. Do not fill this section in yet. This section will be filled in with your Second Draft. This is the ONLY section that you are going to actually bring in your client because you will walk them through each and every step of your chosen crisis model. So, again, do not complete the Counselor Skills and Client Roles section, just leave it here as a place holder.

Assessment Task 2

The second assessment task identified by blah blah blah (Griffin et al., 2014; Nulty, 2008; Spooren et al., 2013). As you can see, we are simply repeating the process. Just like you did for Assessment Task 1 or PFA step 1, or Gilliland’s Step 1… whatever model you choose, you are once again doing an in-depth factual literature review on each and every step. Make sure you CITE all factual sentences. Make sure you look up your model, as well as the generics surrounding your specific step.

Counselor Skills and Client Roles. For now, I just want you to place this here as a place holder. Do not fill this section in yet. This section will be filled in with your Second Draft. This is the ONLY section that you are going to actually bring in your client because you will walk them through each and every step of your chosen crisis model. So, again, do not complete the Counselor Skills and Client Roles section, just leave it here as a place holder.

And you will repeat this cycle, until you have completed the factual research or Literature Review on each and every step and phase of your chosen crisis model.

Crisis Intervention Tasks

Repeat: This section is a more in-depth dive into your chosen model. If this is your model, then why are there intervention tasks? What are the goals of the intervention tasks? Again, this section has nothing to do with your client (Boysen, 2015a, 2015b; Boysen et al., 2014; Dewar, 2011). You are simply giving an in-depth and factual review of your model and the specifics about your model. You want to make sure you pay attention to the headings and follow along with the APA Manual and or this template. (Griffin et al., 2014; Nulty, 2008; Spooren et al., 2013). Make sure you CITE all factual sentences.

Intervention Task 1

Repeat: Intervention task one deals with blah blah bah (Griffin et al., 2014; Nulty, 2008; Spooren et al., 2013). What is Intervention Task 1 (or whatever model you have chosen, what is step one, etc). This is where you explicitly and factually explain EACH step in detail (Dommeyer et al., 2002). Again, this section has NOTHING to do with your client. You are just giving the facts, based in literature, around THIS specific step. This is still part of your literature review. Take note of the Heading and make sure you follow APA Manual and or this template. Make sure you CITE all factual sentences.

This is the ONLY section that you are going to actually bring in your client because you will walk them through each and every step of your chosen crisis model. So, again, do not complete the Counselor Skills and Client Roles section, just leave it here as a place holder.

Intervention Task 2

Repeat: Intervention task two deals with blah blah bah (Griffin et al., 2014; Nulty, 2008; Spooren et al., 2013). What is Intervention Task 1 (or whatever model you have chosen, what is step one, etc). This is where you explicitly and factually explain EACH step in detail (Dommeyer et al., 2002).

For Draft One, you should have a minimum of nine (9) references. Keep in mind, this part of your paper will include 99% of your research. Yes, you may include more.

For Draft One, there should be NO mention of your client, except in your Fictitious Crisis.

Draft one, is pretty much, just your literature review, based upon your chosen crisis model.

No need to include an Abstract nor an Appendix with your Draft 1. I have the Appendices here as a placeholder and as an example.
