In the planning process for crisis situations, it is useful to become aware of the resources available for individuals in need of help. In this assignment, you will explore several resources focusing on suicide prevention and substance abuse.
1. Navigate to the following websites: 988: Reimagining Crisis ResponseLinks to an external site., 988 Suicide & Crisis LifelineLinks to an external site., and
Evidence-Based Practices Resource Center
2. As you examine each of these websites, you can focus on what a comprehensive crisis response system might look like and how the resources provided by the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline are tailored to meet the needs of different groups of individuals. You also can explore the information dedicated to professionals and providers. As you review the Evidence-Based Practices Resource Center, you will focus on the publications related to crisis intervention work, substance abuse, and suicide prevention.
3. Next, imagine you are a human services professional responsible for putting together resources for families and individuals experiencing a mental health crisis and seeking information on suicide and substance abuse. You will create a succinct guide to provide these individuals with detailed summaries highlighting some of the key areas of content related to suicide and substance abuse that you reviewed on each website. Incorporate additional topics and ideas from your textbook to supplement the online information you found.
4. Finally, locate one additional online resource on either suicide or substance abuse that you could include in your resource guide. Please provide the link to this website and summarize its content. Again, you can incorporate supplemental topics and ideas from your textbook to offer individuals and families more comprehensive information. Your resource guide will include four or more pages of content (double-spaced) and an additional page for all references.
