crisis counselors

Trauma response helpers

Crisis counselors are mental health professionals who provide immediate support to people experiencing acute emotional distress, trauma, or psychiatric emergencies.

They staff suicide hotlines, respond to disasters, and work in emergency rooms or community centers.

The role emphasizes short-term intervention rather than ongoing therapy: Crisis counselors were dispatched after the school shooting.
