    CRISIS INTERVENTION PRESENTATION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

    OVERVIEW

    Each assignment in this course has been building your understanding of crisis intervention.

    While other assignments have allowed you to focus on specific facets of crisis intervention, this

    Crisis Intervention Presentation Assignment is about synthesizing all you have learned to

    demonstrate your understanding of each texts discussion concerning the phases of a crisis, the

    various models (CISM, BIP, ABC Model), and the differences between crisis intervention and

    long-term counseling.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    You will utilize the 2 class texts plus videos (if necessary) to create a PowerPoint (or

    Prezi) presentation.

    The presentation should be attractive in nature, well thought out, and something that

    could be used to educate professionals both in academia and in the Church regarding the

    various conceptualizations of integration of Christianity and psychology.

    The presentation should include a title slide, at least 15 slides of body and a slide

    including references.

    Define a crisis state

    Cover Wrights phases of a crisis
