producing situation or event.
• A crisis may present an opportunity for positive
change.

PHASES OF A CRISIS

• Phase 1: The Family Crisis is Triggered:

• A family is thrust into a crisis when two or more
elements, contributing to a state of crisis, interact.

• Phase 2: Seeing the Crisis as Threatening:

• Family members see the crisis as a threat to the
family's goals, security, or emotional ties.
• Phase 3: Staging a Disorganized Response.:
• The crisis may spur a rush of memories about traumatic or
highly stressful times in the family's past.
• Phase 4: Searching for a Solution:
• In an attempt to deal with mounting tension, the family begins
to involve friends, relatives, neighbors, and others in the crisis.
• Phase 5: Adopting New Coping Strategies:
• When support for dealing with the crisis is available from a non-
judgmental and skillful helper, this phase represents a turning
point for the better for the family in crisis.
The Timing of Intervention:
The Timing of Intervention:
• The opportunity a crisis provides for enhancing the
coping and problem-solving skills of families depends
largely on the timing of the intervention.
• During the initial phases of a crisis, a family may be
receptive to intervention.
• While crisis intervention can not cure all the family's
stressors, it does provide the opportunity to teach the
family how to focus on and resolve the current crisis.
