Crisis Intervention Training Douglas County

Crisis Intervention Training Douglas County Crisis intervention team (CIT) training is a training program developed in a number of U.S. states t According to Maj.

states to help police officers react appropriately to situations involving mental illness or developmental disability. Sam Cochran: "Communities large and small are seeking answers to managing crisis issues and crisis services. When changes are mandated, community collaborations and partnerships are the key. Advocates have long asserted that law enforcement personnel do not receive adequate mental

health training, resulting in ineffective and sometimes fatal encounters or outcomes. In 1988, Memphis introduced the first crisis intervention team as a component to the community’s demand for safer, first responder crisis services. "CIT partnerships led to changes in existing systems and stimulated the development of new infrastructures for services. Suicide attempts and mental health crisis concerns are recognized as a priority. Crises are about people, about our community, our families, our friends, and our loved ones. CIT is founded on principles of dignity, understanding, kindness, hope and dedication." [1]

(3-8-17) I don’t like simply reprinting articles, but sometimes I read a story that needs to be widely shared. My former employer has published two such pieces this week. Here’s the first of two.

(2-6-17) Please read these words from a frustrated and hurting Florida mother. My son used to plead with me to kill him. When his voices first arrived they were horrific, relentless and he couldn’t focus on anything but his voices. There were God, Jesus, Lucifer, a female devil, Stuart, Eve, Esther...
