A study of the SAFER intervention model; a systematic conversation style that helps the person in crisis regain their sense of balance. The presentation includes the DIAMOND communication structure to bring a person from shock to talk and the ability to make decisions for their recovery. We also present the CCDR model for suicide assessment and show how all three intervention formats work together.

Some people try to help themselves feel better by self medicating with alcohol, drugs, or some other means following a crisis. By looking at our five core values we offer ways to assess the core stressor triggering the desire to self medicate, suggest where those values have been damaged, and suggest ways to rebuild the core values in order to prevent self medication.
A woman is abused every 7.5 to 9 seconds. A woman living with a man out of wedlock is thirty times more at risk of being murdered. This CD not only studies the problem but also provides options for people in abusive situations. A nine page text version is included on the disc and can be used as a handout for people who are at risk of domestic abuse.
We present the difficulties of cross cultural communication and things to keep in mind when communicating with people of another culture. There is also a short general overview of how Muslims see the world and how we can work effectively with them and people of other cultures.
We all need the three elements of Reasonable Mastery, Caring Attachments, and Purposeful meaning in our life to maintain a balanced life. Learn how to use a Mastery, Attachment, Purpose (MAP) assessment to help people discover where their life may be out of balance. Use this assessment tool to discover where to encourage a client to start rebuilding balance in their life.
Soldiers often go into combat and come out a different person having experienced traumatic experiences that affect their life forever. Many deal with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In this presentation we show how their world views may be violated, changing their perspective on life and the way they relate to the world around them. We also offer suggestions to help veterans find ways to cope.
Can a public school allow chaplains on campus? The answer is “yes.” We have provided chaplains for public schools since 1998. This disc does not contain a Power Point presentation but has several Word documents that explain how the program works. We’ve also included documents we use when we make a proposal to a school district superintendent or principal to start a program.

Those who suffer with HIV or AIDS contend with a variety of physical, psychological, and sociological challenges. These challenges can be so overwhelming and distracting that it may appear to the care giver or counselor that the person is uncooperative or is refusing help. Insights in this presentation will help one understand these challenges and appropriate ways to assist the infected individual.
Nothing can be as heartbreaking as losing a child to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Parents are overwhelmed with a myriad of questions. What did we do wrong? What could we have done better? Siblings, grandparents, and other relatives are also affected. Learn more about the aftermath of SIDS and read the many helps regarding grief and suggestions for recovery.
We seldom hear of workplace violence unless it has become deadly. But WPV does not need to be deadly to make people feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Stress at work or life stress can cause some to act out with desk rage, be verbally abusive, or to imply that they plan to do harm. This presentation shows the stressors that lead to workplace violence and ways to defuse a potentially violent situation.
In spite of our precautions and attempts to defuse a situation we may find ourselves confronted with someone who intends to do harm. A face to face confrontation with such a person can be very frightening. In this presentation we suggest communication strategies and ways to protect yourself if you are forced to deal with a hostile person and precautions to take if the person is armed.
Efforts to defuse a potentially violent situation failed. Communication and precautions failed. People are left with the aftermath of a violent act. As a crisis interventionist, what will your course of action be? How can you help employees regain their sense of safety and sense of emotional and psychological balance? Learn the protocols of workplace violence response.

People who know how to assist during this time can be an invaluable resource. Learn how to be your best for those who need help dealing with end of life issues.
There is no such thing as an illogical suicide when suicide becomes the only logical act in the mind of those desperate to alleviate their physical or emotional pain. We examine five risk levels of individuals contemplating or planning their demise and offer effective tools to counter the illogical logic of suicide thinking. It may surprise you that even in the last two stages of preparation there are effective things that can be done to pull a person back from the brink. These methods of suicide intervention cannot be found elsewhere since they were developed through successful suicide interventions by the author.
Danger and Resilience in High Risk Interventions
High risk interventions such as suicide intervention, hostage negotiation, and SWAT actions pose a psychological and physiological danger to the interventionist. When one realizes that a life is at risk and the decisions, words, or actions one uses can push a subject "over the edge" or bring them back from the brink, the stress can be enormous. In this prsentation we examine the physiological, psychological, emotional, and cognitive impact of high risk interventions and how one can develop a resistance and resilience to combat the negative personal affect on the interventionist.
