Through Prevention, Intervention and Post-intervention services, the Crisis Intervention Center, Inc. strives to reduce emotional distress, raise hope, save lives, and improve outcomes in communities through the utilization of crisis intervention and traumatic loss services.
Whether you are a hospital, a large healthcare organization or municipality, we have the resources, the processes and the people in place to make sure that you are equipped to handle those in your community who are in need of help.
Today we at the Crisis Intervention Center are excited to bring to you our first Training Education Week!
Over the next several days, we will be highlighting individually each of our state-of-the-art training opportunities offered at the Center. This is a great chance to learn about how to prepare members of your organization or group for crisis situations and to take part in community-wide efforts of crisis prevention, intervention, and postvention.
We’ve got some great information coming your way so keep an eye out!
In the meantime, you can learn more about these opportunities here!
Minorities made up 41.3 percent of Louisiana’s population in 2016. For many members of minority populations, problems of cultural stigma and lack of access to care can create even larger problems for those who are mentally ill. Let’s join together this July to help spread awareness of minority mental health and to acknowledge that mental illness does not discriminate based on race, color, or ethnicity.
Visit the National Alliance On Mental Illness to learn more about National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month and how you can be a part of the solution by spreading awareness.
“Combat Veteran lives here. Please be courteous with fireworks.”
Most American families celebrating the Fourth of July will attend a parade or community celebration, go to a cookout or picnic, and wrap up the evening by watching a fireworks display. But for some of the 214 million of the people celebrating Independence Day, fireworks are anything but celebratory.
For veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, fireworks might trigger memories of combat and other military experiences, causing them to relive the trauma, provoking feelings of isolation or rage, or leading to more negative thoughts and feelings than before.
