	This week we&rsquo;ve decided to look beyond the available training course list and focus on Therapeutic Crisis Intervention as a topic of interest. <strong>TCI is a behaviour managing therapy support mechanism</strong> educating the practice of healthy coping skills for young people and children in distress through situational counselling. The Therapeutic Crisis Intervention method was developed since the late 1970s by <strong>Family Life Development Center</strong> in Cornell University with a case study in New York State of the nature of child neglect and abuse in a state care setting. Institutional care settings hosted a range of neglect incidences &amp; abuse stemming from bad management, unrestrained disciplinary measures, and negative personal development features such as isolation &amp; prolonged restraint periods. Today, <strong>social care agents use cognitive therapy </strong>to overthrow ingrained thinking from negative lived experiences, a bit like occupational therapy to a degree. Following on the assessment report of the New York case study, and counsel from associated child centred groups, the result was the development of <strong>Therapeutic Crisis Intervention</strong>. The effect of this initiative was the reduction of child neglect &amp; abuse where TCI programmes were introduced due to its therapy induced nature. &nbsp;</p>
