First nations and aboriginal crisis support – Once the issue for support has been identified, the level of severity for call handling is determined, the goal is to establish a non-judgmental approach to listening and problem-solving. A support system is put into place where the caller is brought back to a pre-crisis state. Debriefing is also provided to any front-line worker who works within the field. KUU-US also maintains an in-depth referral database.
