Crisis Intervention Training

CIT training was developed in order to train first responders to effectively deal with persons they encounter who are experiencing a mental health crisis.  CIT training consists of effective communication skills, de-escalation techniques, mental health diagnosis recognition, mental health medications, trauma in children, excited delirium, poverty and cultural differences, legal issues, veterans services, community resources, developmental disabilities and other topics.  To learn more, click here.

The Huron County MHAS Board recently hosted a training, Treating the First Responder, for local clinicians to assist them in gaining additional knowledge and understanding to help them better support our local first responders.  A list of the clinicians who attended this training may be found here.  The clinicians are listed based on the number of years’ experience they have as a licensed clinician.
