N2  - Although school counselors routinely provide crisis intervention, minimal research has focused on providing such services in a manner sensitive to the unique needs of culturally, linguistically, and ethnically diverse populations. Responses of a random national sample of school counselors (n = 236, 59% return rate) indicate that approximately half expressed concerns related to this type of service. The study summarizes school counselors' concerns, providing an initial understanding for this aspect of school-based crisis intervention. Specific topics of concern most frequently mentioned were school violence and suicide. Particular attention and sensitivity must be focused on addressing these specific topics in crisis plans, taking into account the unique needs of the individual, family, and community. © 2007 Oxford University Press.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
