Critical Incident Crisis Intervention Plan
A disaster or traumatic event impacts everyone on center. Possible disasters include a natural disaster (e.g., a hurricane, earthquake), a death of a student or staff member (e.g., suicide, accidental death), an outbreak of a disease, or a man-made disaster.
When young people experience a disaster, they have special emotional needs that must be addressed by the center community. Some students and staff are particularly at risk for negative effects from a traumatic event. At-risk individuals may include the following:
- Those who knew the victim(s) well
- Those who were directly involved in the circumstances surrounding the traumatic event
- Those who were indirectly involved in the traumatic event
- Those who have suffered past traumas or may have been considered at-risk individuals before the event
This intervention plan will teach you how to prepare for and respond to a disaster, including a suicide. Download it now!
