The Dakota Territory Fire Chaplain's Association, is offering Assisting Individuals in Crisis/Peer Support training. This is NOT psychotherapy; rather, it is a specialized acute emergency mental health intervention which requires specialized training. As physical first aid is to surgery, crisis intervention is to psychotherapy. Thus, crisis intervention is sometimes called “emotional first aid”. This program is designed to teach participants the fundamentals of, and a specific protocol for, individual crisis intervention, or peer support. This course is designed for anyone who desires to increase their knowledge of individual (one-on-one) crisis intervention (peer support) techniques in the fields of Business & Industry, Crisis Intervention, Disaster Response, Education, Emergency Services, Employee Assistance, Healthcare, Homeland Security, Mental Health, Military, Spiritual Care, and Traumatic Stress.
