A person in a crisis situation

        When a person is in a crisis situation, his/her behavior has a direct effect on family members. Many times, family is drawn into the crisis and has to find a way to help the person in crisis while at the same time make sure that they themselves do not become part of the problem. Conduct research and determine ways that a family can effectively deal with a family member in crisis. Be sure to address the following questions: Are there things that a family member can do to help the person in crisis? Should the family seek professional help, and if so, what type of help? Should the family themselves participate in a group setting with the family member in crisis? What are some of the side effects that can cause issues for family members trying to help?
