​Crises are an integral part of life. They can even be considered opportunities for change. But how should we react if we are present during someone else's crisis? Should we comfort, soothe? Or does it help to just let the person talk?

Are you a professional who works in the field of psychology, psychotherapy, pedagogy, healthcare and you work with clients who are or may be in a crisis situation? Or are you a parent, student or do you work outside the helping professions and are simply interested in this area? And would you like to have the tools to work appropriately in a crisis? We invite you to our experiential 32-hour online crisis intervention course entitled Communication with a Client in Crisis, led by experienced lecturers and therapists.
