COUNSELING INTERVENTIONS

NEED FOR COUNSELING INTERVENTION A intervention in counseling is needed when a

Family member, friend, or possibly an employer

Feels that a person is in a crisis (unable to care for self, a danger to him/herself, a danger to others, or at risk of loosing family and/or employment).

An initial interview is scheduled with the person

requesting an intervention to address a

specific crisis. During that interview, the counselor

develops a list of appropriate support people to

include in the Intervention. 1

Support people could be family members or friends

employer, co-workers, and/or a doctor. The support group meets 1-3 times to agree on

goals(what are the end results you are trying to

achieve in the intervention) and what might be some Possible consequences of the intervention.

Then the support team with a counselor conducts an

intervention with the person in crisis and attempts

to get him/her to acknowledge the seriousness of

the issue and agree to treatment. An intervention

can include placement in a treatment facility, if necessary.

The ultimate goal of an intervention is to get the

person in crisis to want help instead of being forced
