Overview

Are you equipped to counsel individuals caught in a traumatic situation? A shooting in the church? A violent divorce? The sudden death of a spouse? Crisis Counseling is designed to help those in ministry understand the nature of crisis events, how individuals are impacted, and how to provide effective aid during and following times of crisis. Though intended for the professional and pastoral counselor, it offers definitions of all concepts, making it accessible to lay readers. Specific examples from Scripture and everyday life abound. Specialized topics include how to work with children and teenagers in crisis circumstances and how to develop a crisis response team in a church setting. The concluding chapter helps readers deal with the stress, burnout, and secondary trauma that often accompanies crisis ministry and counseling.
