Susan witnessed the murder of her partner about four weeks ago. She did not appear to suffer any major reactions until about a week ago on the deceased partner's birthday. On that day, she becomes very agitated and disorderly in a local church

Your team is called to respond. How would you handle the situation?


Susan is probably suffering from long-term crisis reaction. A key point is that she is very unlikely to be faking it. She should be treated as you would treat any other person who is having an acute crisis reaction.
