UTC Course 7: Crisis Intervention for Addiction Professionals addresses the concept of crisis as a part of life and provides guidelines for crisis intervention, including managing suicide risk. It also addresses ways counsellors can avoid personal crisis situations by providing information and exercises about counsellor self-care.
This course is part of a training series developed through funding from the U.S. Department of State to The Colombo Plan Drug Advisory Programme (DAP). More information on the Colombo Plan can be found at http://www.colombo-plan.org/.
