Crisis Intervention : Crisis Intervention Handbook: Assessment, Treatment, and Research

Harriet S.MeyerMD, Contributing EditorDavid H.MorseMS, Journal Review EditorRobertHoganMD, adviser for new media

Not Available

This five-part book looks at the theory of crisis intervention and recent research applied to various populations (youth, the mentally ill, the chemically dependent, victims of violence, and health workers). It illustrates well how doctors can benefit from knowledge in ancillary areas. The editor, Albert R. Roberts, DSW, professor of social work at Rutgers University, is ably assisted (in the foreword and a chapter on crisis intervention with people having clinical diagnoses) by Ann Wolbert Burgess, RN, CS, DNSc, whose research is frequently cited by other authors (mainly social workers) throughout the book.

Assessing the Impact of Crisis Intervention Teams: A Review of Research

This document reviews the available research on the implementation and effectiveness of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) programs, organized into five major sections that provide an overview of the CIT, its organization and effectiveness, the impacts of the CIT model, stakeholders’ perceptions, and practical and research implications for agencies seeking to implement or evaluate CIT programs.

This research review examines more than 50 resources relating to the implementation of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) programs, which are a police-led strategy for improving police interactions with individuals experiencing behavioral health crises and to direct those individuals away from the criminal justice system, into the appropriate treatment and services. Conclusions suggest that training officers in CIT improves their knowledge of behavioral health conditions and that this appears to be a promising model, however research has not yet conclusively supported the use of CIT programs to reduce the use of arrest or force, or to prevent injuries during police encounters. Although calls for further research have been placed, barriers include data collection challenges and the infeasibility of randomization in many locations.

What Causes a Crisis?

How crisis intervention works.

  • Potential Risks

Crisis intervention is a short-term (usually single session) technique used to address an immediate mental health emergency, stabilize the individual in crisis , and create and implement a safe, appropriate plan for next steps and future treatment.

Although crisis intervention can be used in therapy if a client presents in an emergency, crisis hotlines also offer this service using appropriately trained volunteers or employees.

A mental health crisis can occur for many different reasons. By definition, we often do not know when a crisis may occur, and we might not be able to wait for a regularly-scheduled therapy appointment or standard business hours to address it.

Stressful and Traumatic Events May Lead to Crisis

When a person experiences a highly-stressful or traumatic event , they can go into crisis afterward because they cannot process what happened independently. Crisis intervention can help determine what they need to do to ensure their immediate safety, de-escalate their feelings, and make a plan for appropriate resources and ongoing treatment.

If someone experienced a traumatic event a long time ago, they can still go into crisis if they are triggered in the present moment. Crisis intervention can help them return to the present moment, process the trigger, and manage their symptoms until they can connect with their treatment team.

People with various mental health diagnoses, including mood disorders, psychotic disorders, or substance use disorders might experience a sudden, acute increase in their symptoms. They can benefit from crisis intervention to ensure immediate safety, utilize appropriate coping skills, and connect with ongoing treatment options.

Someone who experiences suicidal ideation can experience a crisis if they feel that they might act on these thoughts. Crisis intervention addresses any specific triggers for these thoughts and manages the individual’s safety.

Effective crisis intervention involves connecting to the person in crisis and talking them through specific steps to ensure their immediate safety as well as make appropriate plans for future care.

Many crisis resources utilize a six-step model developed by Dr. Richard James. This model includes the following six steps:

  • Define The Problem. In this stage, the responder establishes a connection with the person in crisis and helps them articulate their crisis as well as what caused it, using active listening and empathy.
  • Ensure Client Safety . This includes making sure that the client is in a safe place and is not at risk for immediate harm, both self-inflicted and abuse by another person.
  • Provide Support. Once the client is physically safe and the responder understands the nature of the problem, the responder helps determine appropriate options for both immediate and long-term support.
  • Examine Alternatives . The responder encourages the client to explore options for people who care for and want to help them, coping skills they can use in the moment, and appropriate re-frames or new ways of looking at the problem.
  • Make Plans. In this stage, the client and responder develop specific plans for how to implement the chosen alternatives, focusing on realistic and manageable steps that the client can take.
  • Obtain Commitment. Finally, the responder helps the client commit to these steps. This includes putting the plan in writing so that the client knows what they need to do and can remember what helped them during the crisis.

These steps help the client work through the emergency both in the moment and by taking steps to get further support in place in the future. Getting ongoing support in place can prevent future crises.

Impact of Crisis Intervention

Outpatient crisis intervention services can give clients the option to work through an immediate crisis in a safe environment without requiring hospitalization . It can assess risk level and connect clients to services that can help them in the moment. Typically, crisis intervention services are free to use and therefore accessible to anyone regardless of income or financial means.

Phone and text-based crisis hotlines allow clients to access services from anywhere because they do not have to travel to a specific location to access support. Research has shown consistent outcomes for both phone and text-based hotlines.

When clients have access to crisis resources that they can use at any time, they can sometimes avoid a higher level of care or hospitalization for mental health needs. Crisis support can provide a safety net for the client in between their other treatments.

Potential Risks of Crisis Intervention

Let's take a look at some potential risks of crisis intervention.

Crisis Intervention Is Not a Substitute for Therapy

Crisis intervention only addresses the immediate emergency and is not a substitute for therapy services. While most crisis hotlines are free to use, it can be difficult for people in rural areas or those with low income to access and afford ongoing treatment and support.

If a client’s only accessible option is crisis support , they are unlikely to see improvement in their symptoms.

Crisis intervention is a tool, but no one tool can fix everything. People need access to a variety of resources in order to get the support that they need.

Crisis Responders May Not Know How to Deal With Every Situation

Not all crisis resources are created equal. Responders do not need an advanced degree or licensure in order to provide crisis intervention. This makes crisis intervention accessible, as responders can be trained quickly. However, responders might not feel equipped to manage a client’s needs or have the knowledge to make appropriate referrals.

This occurs most frequently with suicidal clients and can lead to the client not getting appropriate follow-up care.

There Is No Prior Therapeutic Rapport

Although crisis intervention can effectively help a client through a difficult time, clients are connected with whichever respondent is available rather than a provider that they know well. This can create an added challenge for clients who have difficulty trusting new providers.

Help Is Limited If a Client Remains Anonymous

Finally, some crisis hotlines allow users to be anonymous . While this can help clients feel more comfortable sharing, this means that the responder cannot verify their location or put them in touch with emergency services if the need arises.

A Word From Verywell

Several qualified crisis resources exist if you are experiencing a mental health crisis. If you are experiencing suicidal ideation, substance dependence, abuse, domestic violence, or another crisis, help is available. Asking for help can be difficult, especially if you are in crisis, but support is available.

If you are having suicidal thoughts, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 for support and assistance from a trained counselor. If you or a loved one are in immediate danger, call 911.

1: Identify your topic . It’s helpful to state your topic as a question. For example, if you’re interested in researching heart disease, you could ask the questions: “What causes heart disease?” or “How is heart disease treated?” Turning your topic into a question helps narrow down your research.

2: Develop search terms . Before doing any searching, brainstorm some search terms you might use.  This helps give your research some direction. Then, as  you continue on in the research process, add more search terms as you think of them.

3: Conduct a search. Start with the library.  Search the library catalog to find some books on the topic. Then visit the library website to search the library databases. Then search the Internet—but be careful what websites you use! Not everything on the Internet is trustworthy and accurate.

4: Evaluate your information. Make sure you’re using reliable, up-to-date information. Before using a source in your paper, find out where the information came from. Who wrote the information? Are they experts in the field? What are their credentials? What’s their purpose (are they trying to inform you or sell you a product/service)? When did they write it? Is it up-to-date?

5: Cite your sources. You will have to state where you found your information. As you find sources you want to use, start keeping track of where you found it, who wrote it, and when it was written. For help citing your sources, visit the Individualized Learning Center. 

Here are some tips to consider when choosing a research topic:

  • Research what interests you. If you choose a topic that interests you, you're more likely to enjoy the research process. Try listing the topics/areas/subjects that you enjoy learning about. Ask yourself what exactly you enjoy about each one. Why do you like it? What do you NOT know about it? All these questions can help you select a topic.
  • Research what you do NOT know. The research process is about learning. You do research to answer questions, to fill in holes in your knowledge. Choosing a topic that you already know a lot about (or have had experience with) can sometimes make doing research even harder. So, select a topic that you don't know much about. Ask yourself what it is you do not know. Make a list of questions you have related to the topic.
  • Phrase your topic as a question. As stated above, research is done to answer a question. Therefore, look at what you do NOT know about a topic. Then, phrase your topic as a question. For example, let's say you're interested in researching rape. However, rape is a very broad topic. Therefore, you can break the topic down further. Perhaps you want to know more about a particular group (for example, young women) or a particular location (for example, college campuses). Your research question could then be "How would I assess and intervene in a rape case on a college campus?" 

Still not sure what topic to research? There are lots of brainstorming techniques available. This webpage from the UNC Writing Center has a list of brainstorming techniques you could try:

Research Topics

Five research topics exploring the science of mental health.

crisis intervention research topics

Mental wellbeing is increasingly recognized as an essential aspect of our overall health. It supports our ability to handle challenges, build strong relationships, and live more fulfilling lives. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the importance of mental health by acknowledging it as a fundamental human right.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we highlight the remarkable work of scientists driving open research that helps everyone achieve better mental health.

Here are five Research Topics that study themes including how we adapt to a changing world, the impact of loneliness on our wellbeing, and the connection between our diet and mental health.

All articles are openly available to view and download.

1 | Community Series in Mental Health Promotion and Protection, volume II

40.300 views | 16 articles

There is no health without mental health. Thus, this Research Topic collects ideas and research related to strategies that promote mental health across all disciplines. The goal is to raise awareness about mental health promotion and protection to ensure its incorporation in national mental health policies.

This topic is of relevance given the mental health crisis being experienced across the world right now. A reality that has prompted the WHO to declare that health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing.

2 | Dietary and Metabolic Approaches for Mental Health Conditions

176.800 views | 11 articles

There is increased recognition that mental health disorders are, at least in part, a form of diet-related disease. For this reason, we focus attention on a Research Topic that examines the mechanistic interplay between dietary patterns and mental health conditions.

There is a clear consensus that the quality, quantity, and even timing of our human feeding patterns directly impact how brains function. But despite the epidemiological and mechanistic links between mental health and diet-related diseases, these two are often perceived as separate medical issues.

Even more urgent, public health messaging and clinical treatments for mental health conditions place relatively little emphasis on formulating nutrition to ease the underlying drivers of mental health conditions.

3 | Comparing Mental Health Cross-Culturally

94.000 views | 15 articles

Although mental health has been widely discussed in later years, how mental health is perceived across different cultures remains to be examined. This Research Topic addresses this gap and deepens our knowledge of mental health by comparing positive and negative psychological constructs cross-culturally.

The definition and understanding of mental health remain to be refined, partially because of a lack of cross-cultural perspectives on mental health. Also, due to the rapid internationalization taking place in the world today, a culturally aware understanding of, and interventions for mental health problems are essential.

4 | Adaption to Change and Coping Strategies: New Resources for Mental Health

85.000 views | 29 articles

In this Research Topic, scientists study a wider range of variables involved in change and adaptation. They examine changes of any type or magnitude whenever the lack of adaptive response diminishes our development and well-being.

Today’s society is characterized by change, and sometimes, the constant changes are difficult to assimilate. This may be why feelings of frustration and defenselessness appear in the face of the impossibility of responding adequately to the requirements of a changing society.

Therefore, society must develop an updated notion of the processes inherent to changing developmental environments, personal skills, resources, and strategies. This know-how is crucial for achieving and maintaining balanced mental health.

5 | Mental Health Equity

29.900 views | 10 articles

The goal of this Research Topic is to move beyond a synthesis of what is already known about mental health in the context of health equity. Rather, the focus here is on transformative solutions, recommendations, and applied research that have real world implications on policy, practice, and future scholarship.

Attention in the field to upstream factors and the role of social and structural determinants of health in influencing health outcomes, combined with an influx of innovation –particularly the digitalization of healthcare—presents a unique opportunity to solve pressing issues in mental health through a health equity lens.

The topic is opportune because factors such as structural racism and climate change have disproportionately negatively impacted marginalized communities across the world, including Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, and transition-age youth and young adults. As a result, existing disparities in mental health have exacerbated.
