The TAF crisis assessment instrument

James and Gilliland (2013) discuss their Triage Assessment Form for Crisis Intervention (TAF).

In class tonight we are being trained in the use of this evidence supported instrument. Its a little different from most of the tools I've used in the past. More like using the GAF in that we are trying to score with guidelines related to the score.

The TAF also breaks out various domains to guide the assessor. Looking at the affective, behavioral, and cognitive domains helps describe the situation.
