A Practical Guide
for University Crisis Response provides a structure
and process for effectively managing the wide spectrum
of university-based crises - from the seemingly mundane
to the most severe. It is an invaluable resource in
preparation for, and during, actual crisis situations
and serves as a meaningful standard for our nation’s
colleges and universities. This guide recognizes that
crisis response cannot be delegated solely to administrators
and members of the Crisis Response Team. Effective crisis
management is the responsibility of all university personnel.
This publication introduces and incorporates a practical
and effective strategy for addressing the emotional
needs of people during traumatic events, Acute Traumatic
Stress Management (ATSM). ATSM does not require caregivers
to be mental health practitioners. Rather, ATSM can
empower all university personnel by providing a "road
map" to keep people functioning and mitigate long-term
emotional suffering.
A Practical Guide for University Crisis Response
is published by the National Center for Crisis Management,
a multidisciplinary network of professionals who are
committed to the advancement of intervention for survivors
of trauma. The Center aims to identify expertise among
professionals, across disciplines, and to provide meaningful
standards for those who regularly work with survivors.
Today, the Center’s international membership includes
individuals from over 200 professions in the health-related
fields, emergency services, criminal justice, forensics,
law, business and education. With members in every state
of the United States and over 55 foreign countries,
the Center is now the largest organization of its kind
in the world. Additional information about the Center
can be obtained at www.nc-cm.org.
