intervention Share
An intervention is the act of inserting one thing between others, like a person trying to help. You could be the subject of a school intervention if your teachers call your parents about the bad grades you've been hiding.

Intervention comes from the Latin intervenire, meaning "to come between, interrupt." Often an intervention is intended to make things better, like the US government's intervention to give food and aid to Haiti after the earthquake. One common use of the word refers to a specific type of meeting, or intervention, that happens with the family and friends of a drug addict; they join together to try to convince the drug user to change their ways and live a healthier life.

O termo aparece associado a dois casos de criminalidade, um por proxenetismo e outro por ligação a um gangue e não há qualquer referência ao consumo de drogas de um ou de outro.
Não conheço o termo correspondente em pt-pt. Pensei em "mediador", mas não é a mesma coisa e a única figura que vejo, para já, é a do "técnico de intervenção social".
Obrigada!
