Non-Escalation as De-Esclation
In September the CIT team facilitated two days of Non-Escalation as De-Escalation training for law enforcement and mental health partners. Attendees learned skills to use to avoid conflict and manage crisis.
Thanks to Sgt. Bob Young and Xavier University Police Department for sponsoring the event.
MHA Training Policy Change
In order to utilize resources and funding to the best of our ability, as well as ensure that there is fair opportunity for all to attend trainings, MHA will be implementing a late cancellation/ no show policy. Beginning January 1, 2022, there will be a $25 late cancellation/ no show fee for CIT trainings. Cancellations for training must be made at least 48 hours before the start of the training in order to avoid the fee. Fees will be invoiced to the attendee by email within 1 week of the missed training. Please contact Amanda Shaw (Program Director) with questions regarding this policy.
