CIT Academy for Law Enforcement Professionals

Picture
Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training is a nationally recognized program that teaches law enforcement safe and effective approaches to handling crisis incidents involving a mentally ill individual. The intensive 4-day training is conducted under the instructional supervision of local CIT-trained police officers, mental health professionals, consumers, and family advocates and will offer practical techniques for de-escalating crisis situations.

Training Topics Include
  • Mental illness signs and symptoms – anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, psychotic disorders, suicidal ideas, and more
  • Childhood mental health disorders – common disorders including the signs, symptoms and treatment
  • Dealing with the dually-diagnosed – both substance abuse and mental retardation
  • Mental health law – pink slips, probate court, inpatient/outpatient commitment, admission requirements, and limits of both the MH and CJ systems
  • De-escalation techniques – non-threatening approaches, making sure you are heard, defusing crises, and maintaining safety
Participants also have the opportunity to hear consumer and family member viewpoints on a variety of topics and participate in field experiences and scenario based training. The field experiences may include an agency site visit and may consist of activities such as attending a group therapy session or other mental health center program and an actual ride-along with a case manager.

The CIT Academy for Law Enforcement Professionals is a FREE training, made possible by funds from the Tri-County Mental Health Levy, NAMI Darke, Miami, Shelby Counties and NAMI Ohio. Law enforcement officers from across Darke, Miami and Shelby counties are invited to attend.
