Healthcare and Medical
Crisis intervention is a short-term, immediate support technique used to help individuals in acute psychological, emotional, or situational distress stabilize and regain a sense of safety and control. Mental health professionals, social workers, and crisis hotline counselors use structured approaches to de-escalate situations such as suicidal ideation, domestic violence, or trauma. It focuses on immediate safety and connecting individuals to longer-term resources.
