What's Inside
Field-Tested Guidance
Every concept is drawn from real crisis response experience, not theory alone. Learn twenty-five essential crisis skills and how to be a mini-investigator on scene. Form the 'crisis mindset' that is grounded in concepts that are not typically intuitive to crisis responders, but can be vital to efficiency.
Evidence-Based
Grounded in decades of research and best practices from the fields of social psychology and neuroscience. Learn about the brain and how it guides behavior. Plus, see how communication skills, not often thought about or focused on, are presented as being crucial to effective work.
Case Examples
Stories from the field bring concepts to life. Learning is reinforced by walking through calls step by step to better understand how to identify important aspects of a scene. Sections for self-reflection provide time for analyzing one's approach, strengths, and areas for improvement.
Clinician Safety
Being on scene is the most dangerous part of a crisis responder's job, and very few clinicians receive training to prepare them. Safety tips, as informed by law enforcement, are not just found in one chapter; safety concepts are scattered throughout and help to form a strong 'crisis mindset' for a responder.
