What is the default task of the hybrid model in crisis intervention?

The hybrid model in crisis intervention emphasizes a comprehensive approach to addressing crises, and ensuring safety is the foundational task within this framework. The primary aim in a crisis situation is to create an environment where individuals feel secure and protected from harm. This involves assessing immediate risks, implementing safety measures, and stabilizing the situation before any therapeutic work can effectively take place.

In crisis intervention, if safety is not established first, other interventions, such as building rapport or analyzing client data, may be ineffective. Thus, ensuring safety serves as the critical first step that allows for further engagement and support. By prioritizing safety, practitioners can better facilitate trust and create a supportive atmosphere conducive to recovery and resolution.
