Breaking Barriers Podcast Episode 10: Crisis Intervention Best Practices

Whether you're a member of a crisis intervention team, working on the frontlines of corrections, or simply looking to enhance your ability to navigate high-pressure situations, this episode is packed with actionable techniques and valuable insights to support you in your role.

Crisis situations are some of the most challenging moments correctional workers can face. They test patience, control, decision-making, and even emotional resilience. These are moments when the tension in a room feels palpable, almost as if the air itself is waiting to crack under the pressure. But here’s an important truth: these moments aren’t just about diffusing danger—they're also an opportunity. They’re a chance for connection, a moment to protect vulnerable individuals, and a pathway for fostering growth, both in the individuals involved and in your own professional development.
