Being available to give crisis intervention and emergency support to clients who are suffering acute distress or dealing with trauma-related problems.
Coaches are trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of crisis, including acute distress, intense emotions, suicidal ideation, self-harm behaviors, dissociation, or overwhelming trauma-related memories. Early identification allows coaches to intervene promptly and effectively.
Coaches create a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for individuals in crisis. This may involve actively listening to individuals' experiences, validating their feelings, and offering empathy and reassurance.
Coaches conduct a risk assessment to determine the level of risk and ensure individuals' safety. This may involve asking direct questions about suicidal thoughts, self-harm behaviors, or safety concerns and assessing individuals' ability to keep themselves safe.
Coaches provide immediate emotional support to individuals in crisis, helping them regulate their emotions, manage distressing symptoms, and cope with overwhelming feelings. This may involve offering validation, empathy, and encouragement.
Coaches implement crisis management strategies to help individuals cope with the immediate crisis and regain a sense of stability. This may include teaching grounding techniques, relaxation exercises, and coping skills to help individuals manage acute distress and emotional dysregulation.
Coaches help individuals connect with their support systems, including friends, family members, therapists, crisis hotlines, or other professionals who can provide additional support and assistance during times of crisis.
Coaches work with individuals to develop a safety plan that outlines steps to take in case of future crises or emergencies. This may include identifying coping strategies, support resources, emergency contacts, and crisis intervention techniques to help individuals stay safe and manage distress effectively.
After the crisis has been resolved, coaches follow up with individuals to ensure they are safe and stable. This may involve checking in regularly, monitoring their well-being, and providing ongoing support and resources as needed.
