Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Strategies of crisis intervention are directed toward the immediate cause of the crisis and are aimed at bolstering the emotional security and re-establishing equilibrium, rather than focusing on underlying issues and long-term resolutions. The goal is to return the individual to the pre-crisis level of function. Crisis intervention is, by definition, short term. Promoting growth is a focus of long-term therapy. Providing legal assistance might be applicable.
