This learning resource focuses on defining and understanding various crisis situations such as suicide, sexual assault, child and elder abuse, chemical dependency, AIDS/HIV, and PTSD. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing these crises and responding appropriately in both healthcare and community contexts. Students will engage in a collaborative group assignment where they research and present information on their assigned crisis topic, promoting knowledge sharing through a jigsaw activity. The resource also includes interactive elements, such as a crisis response card game, which simulates real-life decision-making and reflection based on challenges faced during crisis situations. Additionally, it provides vital information on recognizing crises, how to offer support to friends in distress, and offers guidance on accessing local mental health resources.
