            Crisis intervention follows a set of techniques and procedures. It is important to be           patient and comfortable during the different types of crisis intervention. Even 

though crisis intervention is very much tailored to the individual needs of each      person, some common factors exist in every crisis intervention program that is successful.

Challenging Beliefs and Expectations That Cause Problems: This guides the             person into an examination of the thoughts and actions that can lead to helpful         or         harmful choices. After these are examined, they can be changed or discarded to be        replaced with healthier choices.

Awareness and Observation: This gives the patient the power to see how their own       choices may have contributed to their current state. This gives them the opportunity      to realize how they can escape emotional trauma in a healthy, responsible way.

Recognizing the Problem: This guides the person into discovering the root causes         of their situation, allowing them to understand better how they can change persistent,   negative behavior patterns.

Breaking Negative Cycles: This helps free the individual from habits that are     harmful, such as abusive drug and alcohol use. It is done by the recognition of

harmful behaviors and ending them by replacing them with those that uplift a person’s      health, life, and well-being.

The Formation of Short-Term Dependencies: This forms a helpful bond between         the patient, counselor, and support community so their positive behavior can be 

supported until it becomes the new normal for the patient.

The Creation of a Solid Structure: This helps teach the person how to create and          use a behavioral support community, so there is no need to resume previous           negative thought patterns, behaviors, and attitudes.

Education: This shows the person different techniques for pushing past trauma and        returning to a healthy life, empowering them to successfully cope with stress.

Unlocking Inner Potential: This shows the person they have the strength to power         through any type of stress or crisis, allowing them to adopt behaviors and   responses that lead to a better life.
