Crisis Intervention Course

The Counseling Psychology Department offers a three credit undergraduate/graduate split course in crisis intervention (CPSY 410/510). The course is offered during Fall and Spring terms only and is taught by the graduate student who is serving as the University of Oregon Crisis Center Director. This course provides students with the opportunity to learn both theory and practical skills in crisis intervention. Experiential learning through role-playing and group exercises supplement lecture and class discussion. Students taking this course need to be prepared to practice the crisis intervention skills and techniques taught each week in small group role-play situations. Attendance is mandatory and the course is typically offered in a three hour evening block. This is a popular course, particularly during Fall quarter, so sign up early!  If you have any questions, feel free to call the
Crisis Center business line at 346-4487.

This course serves as a pre-requisite for training to work on the University of Oregon Crisis Line. Interested students who have taken this class still need to be selected through a screening process.  Upon passing the screening, the student will be trained to work on the Crisis Line.
