Crisis intervention Vorarlberg: 25 years of life -saving help!
Götzis, Österreich - In Vorarlberg, the crisis intervention team (KIT) has an important role in psychosocial acute care for people in severe crisis situations. Since it was founded in 1999, it has been providing indispensable help for those affected after traumatic experiences. At a celebration, the state councils Martina Rüscher and Katharina Wiesflecker emphasized the enormous voluntary commitment of the employees who have already performed over 250 missions this year. Rüscher described this number as a "clear sign of the great importance" of the team. Since the foundation, more than 4,600 missions have been carried out that offered almost 20,000 people support, reports the .
crisis intervention is further strengthened
As part of the thanks, 16 new employees in the KIT were officially included in the service after completing an intensive training course. The team now counts 96 active members. The team is increasingly demanding the increasing number of missions, often with complex challenges. This year there was not only an increase in operations, but also an intensification, which often includes several teams and at the same time several affected people, as the Vorarlberg press portal reports. In addition, the longstanding commitment was recognized by six jubilees who have been on duty for 15 years and received recognition for their loyalty.
The cooperation of the KIT with various organizations, social institutions and authorities is crucial for effective crisis intervention. The state councils emphasized that the volunteers are always there to help people in need, be it after accidents or other shock experiences. Fire brigade, rescue and police forces also receive support because they are often also exposed to mentally stressful situations. "You can rely on our kit teams at any time and everywhere," says the spokesman Rüscher, emphasizing the invaluable value of this humanitarian work for the community.
