Crisis intervention team (CIT) programs

Crisis intervention team (CIT) programs aim to promote stronger community relations among crisis response team members, including law enforcement officers and mental health providers. These professionals work together to respond to crisis events and use specialized CIT training programs to enhance their understanding of vulnerable populations to better serve the public and aid in destigmatizing attitudes toward individuals with mental illness. In this assignment, you will reflect on how a CIT approach can improve lines of communication and crisis intervention outcomes for those involved in crises.
