Research indicates that college students' mental health problems become more complex and severe over time as university life is associated with a host of new stressors. For those students suffering from the onset of mental illness, self-harm, or suicide, a crisis intervention is needed. The objective of this study was to investigate a crisis intervention working model in a unversity counseling center. The data consisted of 82 team meeting records and clinical diaries of crisis intervention from counseling center over two academic years (September 2009-August 2010) that were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. The crisis intervention working model included a defined crisis types, crisis intervention drills and strategies, and defined termination conditions. During these two years, 52 students identified as crisis clients through presentation of acute stress reactions, suicidal ideations, suicide attempts and behaviors, and onsets of mental illness, as well as being identified as victims of violence or, harassments. No one died as a result of these crisis events. The results suggest that counseling centers should build a clear crisis intervention working model to help clients overcome a crisis. In the future, more cross-institutional studies are needed to investigate the mental issues of college students and the effectiveness of crisis interventions. |
