Once the crisis has happened already, the Tertiary Prevention type helps the couple from reoccurring the crisis.

Can someone tell me what is wrong with the sentence above. I have a green underline under the word "reoccuring" from microsoft word. I don't know how else to say it and what is wrong with it

There is no such word as reoccurring -- you should use "recur" or "recurring."

It's a common error! People make up words all the time when there's a perfectly good one already there!

I've heard people say "orientate" when they're trying to use a verb for "orientation" -- but the verb is simply "to orient"!!
