Phase 2 focuses on what in crisis intervention?

• A. Assessment
• B. Planning Therapeutic Intervention
• C. Intervention
• D. Evaluation

Answer: (B)

Phase Two is about planning therapeutic interventions. After establishing rapport and assessing the crisis in the initial stage, this phase focuses on outlining a concrete plan to restore stability. It involves setting short‑term, client‑driven goals, selecting appropriate intervention strategies (such as coping skills training, problem‑solving steps, psychoeducation, or resource mobilization), and specifying practical actions, responsibilities, and timelines. Safety considerations and risk management are built into the plan so the client has a clear path to reduce danger. The emphasis here is on what will be done and how it will be carried out, preparing for the actual intervention in the next phase. Evaluation and adjustment come later to determine effectiveness.
