Which of the following is included in the Twelve Core Functions?

Crisis intervention is included in the Twelve Core Functions because it provides the immediate response to acute distress or safety risks that can occur during treatment. It involves rapid risk assessment, de-escalation, safety planning, stabilization, and connecting the client with emergency services or other resources as needed. This stabilization is essential to prevent harm and to keep the client engaged in ongoing treatment, allowing assessment, counseling, and treatment planning to proceed. Billing, marketing, and facility maintenance are important for running a program, but they are administrative or operational tasks rather than direct clinical interventions in a crisis.
