Definition

  • Crisis prevention and intervention refers to a systemic crisis plan to promote safety; to prevent crises, including intervening early; and to address the effects of all crises in order to reduce tragic outcomes, support healing, and return to normalcy. Violent deaths, a destructive tornado, a hostage situation, a serious bus accident, or a sudden unexpected death of student or staff member can happen and result in staff, student, and community trauma and disabling anxiety.
