Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'crisis' (an acute/dangerous situation) with 'intervention' (an action taken to help or treat), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to help provided during a crisis. This noun–noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common semantic combination and thus accessible to B1 learners who know the constituents.
Etymology
The noun crisis intervention comes from the image of someone stepping into a sudden emergency: crisis means a dangerous moment and intervention means stepping in to help. So it now means quick help from trained people to 'stop harm' and help someone 'get back to their normal life'.
