CCIS CCIS Crisis Intervention Models & Frameworks 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which crisis intervention model emphasizes the role of cognitive distortions in maintaining a crisis state?
- Equilibrium Model
- Psychosocial Transition Model
- Cognitive Model of Crisis Intervention (Correct answer)
- Roberts' Seven-Stage Model
Correct answer: Cognitive Model of Crisis Intervention
The Cognitive Model of Crisis Intervention holds that distorted or irrational thinking patterns contribute to the maintenance of a crisis and that challenging these cognitions is central to resolution.
Question 2: The SAFER-R model of psychological first aid stands for:
- Stabilize, Acknowledge, Facilitate, Educate, Recovery, Referral (Correct answer)
- Safety, Assessment, Follow-up, Education, Review, Release
- Screening, Advocacy, Feedback, Evaluation, Referral, Re-entry
- Support, Affect, Function, Engagement, Rapport, Resources
Correct answer: Stabilize, Acknowledge, Facilitate, Educate, Recovery, Referral
The SAFER-R model (Stabilize, Acknowledge, Facilitate understanding, Encourage adaptive coping, Recovery or referral) is used in acute crisis and disaster response to guide structured psychological first aid.
Question 3: Crisis intervention that occurs at the location of the crisis (e.g., home, street) is called:
- Inpatient intervention
- Telehealth crisis support
- Mobile crisis intervention (Correct answer)
- Secondary prevention
Correct answer: Mobile crisis intervention
Mobile crisis intervention involves trained crisis professionals going to the location where the crisis is occurring rather than requiring the person in crisis to travel to a service site.
Question 4: Which stage of Roberts' Seven-Stage Model involves helping the client develop an action plan?
- Stage 2: Rapid assessment
- Stage 5: Generate and explore alternatives
- Stage 6: Develop an action plan (Correct answer)
- Stage 7: Follow-up
Correct answer: Stage 6: Develop an action plan
Stage 6 of Roberts' model specifically involves collaborating with the client to develop a concrete, feasible action plan to address the identified crisis.
Question 5: The ecological model of crisis intervention emphasizes:
- Only individual-level psychological factors
- The interaction between the individual and their social and environmental systems (Correct answer)
- Biological and genetic determinants of crisis
- Medication as the primary crisis intervention
Correct answer: The interaction between the individual and their social and environmental systems
The ecological model recognizes that crises are influenced by multiple levels of a person's environment — individual, family, community, and societal — and effective intervention addresses relevant system levels.
Question 6: A Walk-In Crisis Center differs from a hospital emergency department primarily because:
- Walk-in centers require insurance authorization for entry
- Walk-in centers offer voluntary, community-based crisis stabilization without mandatory emergency protocols (Correct answer)
- Walk-in centers only serve children
- Walk-in centers prescribe medications directly
Correct answer: Walk-in centers offer voluntary, community-based crisis stabilization without mandatory emergency protocols
Walk-in crisis centers provide accessible, voluntary crisis stabilization services in a community setting, often reducing unnecessary psychiatric hospitalizations and providing a less restrictive alternative.
