Crisis Intervention
Crisis is defined as a dramatic emotional or circumstantial upheaval in a person’s life. As you might imagine, this is a common experience for survivors of sexual assault, relationship abuse and stalking. It happens in the moments, hours, and days after abuse occurs, and can happen repeatedly throughout a survivor’s life due to a variety of factors, such as being retriggered.
Advocates from the SHARPP office can help you work through your crisis and regain a sense of equilibrium for that moment. The advocate’s goals in crisis intervention are to assist you in sorting out options, feelings, thoughts, and reactions, strengthening coping responses, regaining control, and renewing previously healthy relationships.
Through the 24-hour support line and office appointments and walk-ins, SHARPP strives to provide support whenever you need it.
