CUSTOMIZED TRAINING: Is available for agencies at a daily training rate. |
This eight hour, one day, training deals specifically with issues school resource officers and security staff, school administrators, mental health professionals, campus supervisors, clinic aids and other interested partners must face on a daily basis in dealing with the adolescent population. We have trained young adult role players to assist class participants in the development of their verbal de-escalation skills. Children in Crisis training includes an introduction to mental illness in children, briefing on the de-escalation model of crisis response, a presentation by a mental health consumer to help class participants see the crisis from their point of view and four hours of scenario based role play guided by a trained role play coach to give officers hands on experience with crisis response. Officers are encouraged to enroll their teacher and mental health partners in the training with them.
 Sponsored by BSF, Hosted by Hennepin County Sheriff's Office. |
The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) is a law enforcement mental health crisis response developed by the Memphis, Tennessee Police Department in 1988. It teaches the de-escalation model of mental health crisis response. This training for corrections and detention staff is a 4 day program developed to address real world situations found in jails and prisons. |
In Minnesota, CIT is taught using stop action, scenario based role plays with professional actors. Classroom training is presented by community leaders and professionals in their area of expertise. Participants will learn skills that can be taken back to their facilities and apply them to situations involving persons in custody with a variety of mental health concerns or disruptive behaviors. CIT officers will learn a more humane and calm approach to reduce the likelihood of physical confrontations. $360 registration fee per person.
This day long training is for CIT trained, or equivilant, officers. BSF will use Crisis Company trainers and role players to provide this training. Participants will learn to lead the role play scenario groups that are used in CIT training. This can be thought of as a CIT2.0 training because in this higher level training participants are taught how the scenarios are designed, how teaching points are embedded in each scenario and how the role play is used to teach the concrete skills needed to de-escalate in mental health crisis calls. This 'train the trainer' approach will make it possible for more police departments to participate in the implementation of CIT training in their local area. Contact BSF to learn more about how your department can participate in this training. There is no charge for CIT trained, or equivilant, officers.
These 40 hour CIT trainings are sponsored by the Barbara Schneider Foundation and hosted by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office. They are open to police officers and patrol deputies in Ramsey County. The training will follow the CIT training format used in Minnesota which includes local content expert presenters, consumers, and daily scenario based role plays with the professional police training actors from the Crisis Company. Training is fully funded through a grant from the Minnesota Department of Human Services to Ramsey County. Contact Mark Anderson for further information, (612) 801-8572.
This BSF training is from 9:00am - 5:00 pm. Our trainer is Jonathan W. Bundt, MA, LMFT. This training is designed to give professional and other care providers skills that will enhance their readiness and response to these crisis events. Participants will gain understanding of how to intervene with individuals in crisis and maintain their own safety and that of their client. Training includes scenario based role play training with Crisis Company actors. CEU credits are approved by the MN Board of Social Work, MN Board of Marriage and Family Therapy, and the MN Board of Psychology.
