Supportive Solutions, Inc. - Serving the consultant community

about us

meet the owner

The Crisis Consultant Community is where Crisis Support Consultants (CSC's) and Associates (CSA's) can come for training, questions, interactions and information on new resources, research and company news.

Crisis Support Consultants

Crisis Support Consultants are highly trained professionals prepared to provide crisis support services through a flexible, time-limited, yet goal-driven approach. Ongoing training and education allows our consultants to provide the "gold standard" for crisis response that encompasses both the old and the new methodologies. SSI does not support any one model for crisis response, but rather focuses on a strengths-based approach that enhances an individual's ability to successfully manage their reactions to a traumatic event.
