Whose rights does CCG believe should be protected during a crisis?

The belief that both the responder and the individual in crisis should have their rights protected reflects a balanced and comprehensive approach to crisis intervention. This perspective acknowledges that while the individual in crisis may be vulnerable and in need of immediate support and assistance, the responder also has the right to work in a safe and respectful environment.

By prioritizing the rights of both parties, crisis intervention strategies can promote de-escalation and a more effective resolution to the situation. Protecting the individual in crisis ensures that they receive the empathy and support necessary during a challenging time, while safeguarding the responder reinforces their ability to perform their role effectively without encountering undue harm or prejudice.

Inclusion of all individuals present in the environment can further enhance safety and ensure that a resolution is reached without exacerbating the situation or compromising anyone's rights. This holistic approach equips responders with the tools and mindset to navigate complex interactions during a crisis effectively.
