Crisis Intervention Services are services offered, preferably immediately after exposure to a crisis or critical incident event, that help a client process what has occurred, know what to expect in the coming days, weeks and months, and enable the client to successfully navigate the stress-related symptoms post-event in order to alleviate and prevent post traumatic stress. 

Crisis Intervention is performed by trained peer volunteers. Peer volunteers are people who have similar experiences as the client(s). For example, professionals involved in a critical event, such as a fire-scene with a line-of-duty death, will be handled by peer support volunteers experienced in fire-fighting services or other emergency services and whom the client can relate to during intervention.

Anyone can receive crisis intervention! Crises do not just happen to professional emergency workers. We provide services to professionals and civilians dealing with any form of crisis or traumatic event, from the death of a coworker, loss of a family member, natural disaster, major emergency incident or any other traumatic event that causes or may cause a stress reaction in a person. These services are available for groups or individuals. 

Crisis Intervention is provided at no cost to the client(s). For ongoing services beyond the standard crisis intervention, services may fall into the category of general counseling for which a low fee is assessed per session. 

We do not report to anyone your need or request for services through us. All services are offered with full confidentiality. The only time that this may be waived is in the event a client expresses a desire to hurt him or herself or others.
