Homonym: Intervention (Interference)
Intervention refers to the act of stepping in to help or change a situation, often to improve someone's life or address a problem. This can occur in various contexts, such as in healthcare, education, or social services. For example, an intervention might involve a therapist working with a patient to address mental health issues or a teacher providing additional support to a struggling student.
In some cases, interventions are planned events where friends or family confront a person about their harmful behaviors, such as substance abuse. This type of intervention aims to encourage the individual to seek help and make positive changes in their life.
