Compassion in CrisisThe purpose of crisis counseling is to offer a sense of
caring presence: to hold a hand or offer a friendly shoulder to cry on.
The primary goal of crisis counseling is to provide temporary intervention enabling
the person to return to effective, independent functioning as soon as possible.
