 Now, preparing in advance is another important situation and behavioral emergencies and crisis can come in. Although behavioral and crisis management techniques are well beyond the scope of this course, we understand, but few suggestions to prepare for making difficult decision-making under a right time consideration can be discussed here. Number one, to know the emergency resources which are available in your community. A lot of such things are available in our community. As a therapist, we have to have the grip on them, keep names, numbers, and descriptions of community services in an easy to access location. For example, a lot of important places, important numbers are tagged, double one, three, five, double one, double nine, or other different numbers. So if a woman is in a women crisis situation, she has a specific number or if there is a terrorist situation, she has a number, these resources should be well known to a therapist. From on-join and alliance of colleagues in your community with each people, agreeing to be available for consultation when emergency arises. You should have a pool in which different people should be on board with you. If there is an emergency situation, then what kind of people are there who can consult you for help? There can be a mental health professional, there can be a medical doctor, there can be a social worker, there can be a medical doctor, there can be a psychiatrist, any situation related to emergency, any individual who can be a part of it should be on board with you. Then know the laws and policies in your state and local relating to the matters that are likely to accompany crisis events. The place where a therapist is practicing, any community, any address, any part of the world, the laws that are being practiced there, the things that are being implemented there, it is very important to have complete knowledge about them. These include mandated reporting status, specifying the condition under which information obtained in confidence must be reported to authorities and commitment procedures. Every state has its own laws in every place and they tell you that you have to report any case, so what format you have to do, how you have to do it, what are the procedures, what are the documentation, it is very important to know properly. Then locate an attorney in your community who is knowledgeable about matters that have legal side relevant to your practice. One lawyer is also very important to be on board because there are many clients who can come to such a situation while dealing with you that a law matter arises, so every time you will not give a new individual a try, rather you should always have an on board, a legal attorney with you. Then actively seek learning points to sharpen your knowledge about the kind of crisis that may arise in your practice. Apart from this, a lot of such situations can be challenging, which can be done, for example, education in crisis counseling or courses in first aid, etc. That is, if you do not have a direct link with anything, but first aid is also very important to know the basic things about it. Similarly, the crisis counseling, if you want to be educated about it and if you want to study about it or if you can get a diploma, you can get a certification, then take that too. For example, behavior therapists should have a lot of information about psychodynamic approach and training, about hypnosis or NLP. Because if you work distinctively and do not know anything about one field or another field, then sometimes there are some problems that can be created. Then define your own areas of competence, practice only within those confines. Whatever is your practice area, you should practice it fully. You must have information about other things. It is important. But it does not mean that you say that you cannot do anything good in trying to do everything. So, it is better to develop your areas of expertise. If you are an expert in adolescence counseling, then you should focus on that. Those who work in front of drug addicts, they do not need to enter the women crisis intervention. They should develop that area. And they should sharpen their expertise within that area. Similarly, those who work with autistic children, it is not necessary that they are experts in working with old age people. So, these areas are defined and it is very important to develop your skills within their domains. Then carefully monitor relationship between yourself and those whom a close and trusted alliance has been built. In your community, there should be people with whom your working professional should have trusted relationship. Therapeutic miscalculations can result in intense client-therapist dynamics that lead to unanticipated outcomes. In some cases, during therapy, you can do such miscalculations that can make the relationship between therapist and client very intense and horrifying. So, it is very important to be well prepared for such situations. So, it is necessary to know these things in advance. So, the decision making in a crisis situation can be appropriate. Then never really solely believe on your memory. Document any emergency, any crisis situation, including the decision you made and your rationale for making them. This is the only way to safeguard. Whenever there is a crisis situation, why did you take a decision? What was the logic behind it? And how will this decision be implemented? It is very important to document this process. Because whenever you want to retrieve the material, you have its logic and it also saves you legally. So, this is the way we prepare ourselves in advance and this is the way we behave in emergency situations while doing decision making.
