Crisis Intervention

This online postgraduate course prepares students to support people facing psychological difficulties linked to developmental crises, such as marital, family, school, adolescent, career or midlife problems, and to situational crises such as trauma, bereavement and suicide attempts. The curriculum draws on clinical psychology with a focus on trauma, and on social psychology oriented toward conflict and crisis. It also covers psychological prevention. Sessions run in real time over Zoom or Teams, so students can take part from any location. The course consists of 180 teaching hours delivered on weekends roughly every three to four weeks. Teaching is in Polish and carried out by experienced practitioners. Completion requires attendance and a diploma examination combining a written project with a presentation. The course is intended for graduates of psychology, pedagogy, resocialisation, sociology and law.
