A Practical Guide for University Crisis Response provides a structure and process for effectively
managing the wide spectrum of university-based crises - from the seemingly mundane to the most severe. This guide
recognizes that crisis response cannot be delegated solely to administrators and members of the Crisis Response
Team. Effective crisis management is the responsibility of all university personnel.
This publication introduces and incorporates a practical and effective strategy for addressing the emotional needs
of people during traumatic events, Acute Traumatic Stress Management (ATSM). ATSM does not require caregivers to
be mental health practitioners. Rather, ATSM can empower all university personnel by providing a "road map"
to keep people functioning and mitigate long-term emotional suffering.

Comprehensive Acute Traumatic Stress Management (ATSM) is a pragmatic process that was developed for all
emergency responders to address the emergent psychological needs of individuals who are exposed to traumatic events.
The implementation of ATSM, along with traditional emergency medical intervention, offers a comprehensive response
strategy to meet the needs of the "whole person." By reaching people early, during traumatic exposure,
we may ultimately prevent acute traumatic stress reactions from becoming chronic stress disorders.
ATSM offers "practical tools" for addressing the wide spectrum of traumatic experiences — from mild to
the most severe. It is a goal-directed process delivered within the framework of a facilitative or helping attitudinal
climate. ATSM aims to "jump-start" an individual's coping and problem-solving abilities. It seeks to
stabilize acute symptoms of traumatic stress and stimulate healthy, adaptive functioning.

Traumatic events are a part of life. In the same way that we rush to address our physical needs, we must also
address our emotional needs.
I developed this audio book to help you while you’re living through a traumatic experience. This program provides
practical information that will ease your pain, keep you functioning and lessen the likelihood of long-term emotional
suffering. Most importantly, it will help you to see the opportunities that a crisis can bring.
Adversity is a powerful force ... a force that can divide us, or propel us to achieve
beyond our dreams.
- Dr. Mark Lerner
Dr. Mark Lerner is a clinical psychologist who focuses on helping people during and in the aftermath of traumatic
events. He is President of The American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress, the originator of the Acute Traumatic
Stress Management intervention model, and the author of four books.
