Crisis and Trauma Intervention Project Create a Brochure/Pamphlet for Individuals in Crisis

Your handout should include information related to the following elements:
Brief description of the type of trauma or crisis.
Overview of possible emotional, behavioral, cognitive, relational, etc. responses to the type of trauma or crisis
i.e. what type of responses might family members generally expect and/or be prepared to see in their loved one Ways family members can be supportive of their loved one.
This may include general suggestions, but you should also include suggestions that are as specific as possible
Resources for family members to take care of themselves.
Recommendations for additional resources that family members can access that help them understand the experience of their loved one.
