1. true or false: crisis prevention and intervention only involves behavioral crises.

true
false

Explanation:

1. Inclusion focuses on integrating people into a community. Providing person - centered support emphasizes giving individuals the choice over services. Supporting health, safety, and wellness is about physical and mental well - being. Communication is about exchanging information. Since the question is about giving people the choice of services, person - centered support is relevant.
2. In the context of supporting people (e.g., in disability support), allowing people to take risks (with proper safeguards) is part of promoting their autonomy. So, as a DSP (Direct Support Professional), one must allow people to take risks.
3. The responsibility of a DSP to protect and do no harm is more about duty of care. Guarding trust and privacy is about confidentiality. Understanding and sharing feelings is empathy. A person's right to make informed decisions and engage in meaningful experiences even with risk is the definition of dignity of risk.
4. The ability to respond to changes is adaptability. The power to make decisions is autonomy. Responsibility to protect is duty of care. Treating people well and providing good services is a key aspect of professionalism.
5. Crisis prevention and intervention can involve various types of crises, not just behavioral ones (e.g., health - related, environmental - related crises in the context of supported individuals).
