Tim Webb – Mental Health Emergencies Breakthrough Strategies for Crisis Intervention

In November, 2014 a 68-year old male was hospitalized near Minneapolis because he was suffering from paranoia and episodes of confusion. Hours later, the man assaulted multiple nurses when he chased them out of their station, furiously swinging a metal pole. One nurse suffered a collapsed lung and another fractured her wrist, along with bruises and cuts. The man then fled the hospital and ran for blocks until police could finally take him down.

As a clinician, you will inevitably be faced with moments of crisis.
