Crisis intervention therapy is designed to help individuals facing immediate crises. This type of service focuses on assisting teenagers to cope with and manage severe psychological issues such as trauma, mental health problems, substance abuse, or other life-altering events.
Crisis intervention can offer short-term support for teens and adolescents to navigate current struggles and begin recovery.
Imagine Lincoln offers treatment programs for teens that address a variety of behavioral health concerns, including crisis intervention therapy.
Why Do Teens and Adolescents Need Crisis Intervention Therapy?
Teens and adolescents encounter numerous physical and emotional challenges that can be difficult to manage alone. Crisis intervention provides the necessary help during times of high stress or distress. Without crisis intervention therapy, many teens risk developing mental health disorders or turning to substance abuse as a coping mechanism, especially those caught in cycles of physical or emotional crisis.
Common reasons teens may need crisis intervention include:
Any sudden or unexpected event that overwhelms a teen’s coping ability can be a crisis source. Examples include the death of a loved one, parental divorce or separation, physical or sexual abuse, natural disasters, and other life-altering events. Teens may also require intervention if they engage in risky behaviors such as drug use or self-harm.
Who Can Benefit from Intervention Services for Adolescents?
Anyone experiencing a crisis can benefit from a crisis intervention program. Teens and adolescents, in particular, can gain significant advantages from these services as they are more susceptible to developing mental health issues due to their inexperience in managing them. Crisis interventions provide teens with the guidance, resources, and support needed to better cope with their current situation.
Benefits of a crisis intervention program for teens and adolescents include:
- Improved communication skills
- Increased emotional regulation
- Greater understanding of their emotions
- To develop resilience in difficult situations
Through crisis intervention therapy, teens develop coping strategies to manage future crises more effectively. It also allows them to build strong relationships with supportive adults such as parents, teachers, or counselors.
