Published
Alexandria, VA : American Counseling Association, 2014
This live demonstration simulates crisis response following a hypothetical university shooting where counselors will engage affected individuals in the "hot zone". The goals of this demonstration are to illustrate how counselors use de-escalation techniques to meet immediate needs for safety and stabilization of survivors as well as ameliorate intense emotional reactions. The second goal of this demonstration will be to demonstrate how the counselor will continue trauma interventions with a client who continues to experience acute posttraumatic symptoms following the incident. This session will show how to help the client identify sensory triggers evoking personal terror and learn to cope with feelings and reactions following mass violence
