Life Space Crisis Intervention (LSCI)

LSCI is an advanced, interactive therapeutic strategy for turning crisis situations into learning opportunities for children and youth with chronic patterns of self-defeating behaviors. LSCI views problems or stressful incidents as opportunities for learning, growth, insight, and change. This non-physical intervention program uses a multi-theoretical approach to behavior management and problem solving. LSCI provides staff a roadmap through conflict to desired outcomes using crisis as an opportunity to teach and create positive relationships with youth.
Learn what to do when a youth:

- acts out in stress toward unsuspecting helpers, sparking explosive and endless power struggles
- makes poor decisions based on distorted thought patterns and perceptual errors
- has the right intentions and motivation but lacks the social skills to be successful
- is purposefully aggressive and exploitive with little conscience
- acts in self-damaging ways due to being burdened with shame and inadequacy
- becomes entangled in destructive peer relationships and is vulnerable to manipulation
