In chapter 25 of Roberts, the authors discuss various traits one needs to have to engage in crisis intervention work. For the first part of the discussion, reflect on what traits you have that would help you as a crisis intervention worker.

Discuss how your traits play a role in how we interact with patients, colleagues, and the work more generally. Do your traits help facilitate interventions better? If so, how? If not, why?

Crisis intervention may be hard, intense work. How would you take care of yourself in meaningful ways? How would you utilize help as a crisis worker if you needed to?
