Crisis Management: Prevention and Intervention (Spring-Odd)

This course will examine crisis prevention strategies, safe physical management practices, development of crisis plans and policies, and the acquisition of practice skills for responding to crisis in the professional realm. Crisis is most often the impetus which catapults individuals into the need to intervene for those whose professional discipline lends itself to working with individuals, groups, families, communities, organizations, churches and the global community. This course will examine human dilemma and crisis at all levels and provide students with special 148 knowledge, values and skills as they prepare to confront crisis as a professional. (Portions of this course may be taken in 1-hour modules for interested students. See HSW 205, HSW 206, HSW 207. Offered spring of odd years.)
