Crisis intervention services are an integral component of the mental health continuum of care. Numerous models of crisis intervention offer extensive steps, strategies, and plans for intervening effectively with individuals in crisis. African Americans, as a population, underutilize services offered by the mental health system. The use of multicultural competencies (counselor awareness of own values and biases; counselor awareness of client worldview; culturally appropriate intervention strategies) applied to Roberts' crisis intervention model creates a partnership that may provide crisis intervention specialists with a framework for increasing effectiveness with African Americans.

KEY WORDS: crisis intervention, multicultural competencies
