The Crisis Intervention course is delivered in two face-to-face sessions?one at the beginning and one at the end of the semester?and is strongly practice-oriented. It focuses on responding to acute psychological crises, stabilising a person in distress, and developing a safe and appropriate plan for immediate next steps and follow-up care. Crisis intervention addresses the immediate emergency and is not a substitute for ongoing psychotherapy. The first session (start of semester) is designed as an experiential, self-reflective learning activity. Through guided exercises, students gain first-hand insight into crisis dynamics, stress responses, and the core principles of stabilisation, grounding, and a supportive professional stance. This is followed by a period of independent study (recommended readings, short case materials, basic risk-assessment principles, and mapping of relevant services). The second session (end of semester) is dedicated to skills practice using role-plays in triads: therapist - client - observer. Students rehearse the structure of a brief crisis interview, basic risk assessment, safety planning, and appropriate referral/linking to services, supported by structured feedback from peers and the instructor.
