In our bustling lives, mental health challenges are increasingly common. When someone you care about struggles, it can be confusing and devastating. Luckily, there are resourceful ways to help.
Cue mental health interventions. While an intervention might seem like an ambush, it’s not. Taking the time to help your loved one can make a world of difference.
No matter the mental health condition, intervention can be valuable. This can help with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and more. Simply, the goal is to be supportive and offer guidance. It shouldn’t be debilitating but rather a way to overcome mental health challenges.
These interventions are curated methods to bring positive change. One of the most supportive aspects is that you’re not doing it solo. An intervention team includes professionals, family members, and the person in need.
At Intervention.com, we strive to deliver comprehensive mental health intervention services. We offer expert-led approaches to address mental health difficulties.
Mental health issues often collide with other concerns. For instance, substance abuse or eating disorders can go hand-in-hand with them. Therefore, we specialize in services for co-occurring disorders. These include:
Drug Interventions: We identify obstacles that the person in need may face and put a unique plan in place.
Alcohol Interventions: With a variety of methods, like the Tough Love Love First model, an interventionist can help identify the best way forward for your loved one.
Eating Disorder Interventions: Eating disorders can have significant impacts on both physical and mental well-being. Our interventions involve therapists, nutritionists, and sometimes medical professionals. This helps pinpoint the underlying causes and develop healthy eating habits.
We leverage processes already proven to work. This helps maximize growth for those we help. Some common proven techniques include:
Of course, we also focus on traditional forms of therapy. Some include:
For a drug abuse intervention to be successful, thorough planning and a clear, unified message from loved ones are crucial. Additionally, having a follow-up plan in place, including treatment options and recovery support, is essential for encouraging the first steps toward change.
Mental health can be a fragile thing. Because of this, a mental health crisis can lead to an individual posing a risk to themselves or others. Unlike more collaborative interventions, crisis intervention in mental health involves immediate action.
If a crisis happens, there are a few things you can do before the intervention team arrives. Be sure to act quickly and do these:
The most critical part of crisis intervention teams is their training. These teams may include mental health professionals, law enforcement, and emergency medical personnel. Besides rapidity, interventionists should keep the individual’s safety as the main goal. This allows the intervention team to address the crisis, stabilize the situation, and provide support.
As you can tell, crises in mental health situations can be unpredictable. No matter the situation, there are core elements of intervention that are valid:
We at Intervention.com work with individuals and families. This can help you feel at ease when the intervention takes place because you had a hand in choosing the team. Having family involved can make recovery easier because of the familiarity and love.
Mental health intervention specialists have expertise in dealing with mental health challenges. Specialists may include licensed counselors, therapists, social workers, or professionals with targeted training.
At Intervention.com, we favor our proprietary intervention method, BreakFree Intervention. This method focuses on understanding various intervention techniques and favors a family-focused approach. We also use Kathleen Murphy’s action-method approach, involving role play.
Asking for help from our professional interventionists is a sign of great strength. Some of the biggest advantages of working with Intervention.com’s teams include:
At Intervention.com, our help extends beyond immediate intervention. General health and better communication between family members are a focus.
Why not take that first step? Try a consultation to discuss your circumstances and concerns. That means there’s no pressure or upfront commitment needed. You can chat with a specialist, ask your questions, and see if our services are a good fit.
If you or someone you care about is ready to make a change, contact Intervention.com today. Your mental health and the well-being of those around you can be a priority.
This can differ from person to person. Some common signs include changes in behavior like social withdrawal. Mood swings, persistent irritability, and anger are also indicators.
Sleep changes, difficulty coping with responsibilities, or self-harm tendencies could also be signs. If concerned, early intervention can make a positive impact if necessary.
A professional team will collaborate to create a safe environment for healthy communication. Remember, the intervention is to help your loved one see why they need professional help. The specifics will vary depending on the situation and the approach.
While mental health interventions should be non-confrontational, the person could resist. Professionals are there to help cut distress and struggle.
There’s no standard amount of time. How bad the condition is, the intervention method, and commitment affect improvement. Even poor support systems can slow progress. But no win is too small during this process, so be sure to celebrate them.
Intervention.com offers various support to ensure continued progress. Follow-up counseling and referrals to treatment programs are great options. This helps reevaluate an individual’s progress and checks whether treatment should change.
