Training in conflict and crisis management The suggestion to prepare crisis intervention plans was also followed: the Neuland team participated in seminars on conflict and crisis management at social services facilities which were specifically aimed at their clientele. This included suicide prevention and de-escalation seminars, among others. Appropriate crisis and emergency plans were derived and developed based on these seminars.
