What is Life Space Crisis Intervention
LSCI is a strategy to
turn crisis situations in to opportunities for young people to
learn new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. LSCI is
related to Response Ability Pathways (RAP) training and is a 4-day
intensive training for key people within organisations that work
with young people. The training focuses on developing
specific skills for connecting with and reclaiming troubled
children and young people involved in self-defeating patterns of
behaviour.

Research by the Education Department in the ACT has found the
use of LSCI techniques "has been effective in reducing school
suspensions and increasing teacher confidence and efficacy in
managing very disruptive behaviour patterns"
LSCI is relevant for practitioners in education, training,
health, foster care, youth-at-risk, juvenile justice and
law-enforcement. The LSCI training was developed by Dr
Nicholas Long at the University of Michigan and the National
Institute of Mental Health in the USA.

youth. The following people may find the
