Crisis counseling is a supportive service designed to help individuals facing overwhelming emotional distress or traumatic events. It provides immediate assistance to those experiencing crises, such as natural disasters, personal loss, or mental health emergencies. Counselors work to stabilize the situation, offering empathy and guidance to help individuals regain a sense of control and safety. During crisis counseling, trained professionals use active listening and problem-solving techniques to address the immediate needs of the person in distress. This process often involves creating a safety plan and connecting individuals to additional resources, such as mental health services or support groups, to ensure ongoing support and recovery.
