SolutionPoint+ 40-hour CIT Training

In this training, various topics are covered. On day one participants learn advanced verbal communication skills and the various ways to respond to a person experiencing a behavioral crisis. Participants then learn the dynamics of serious mental illness on day two. On day three, participants learn about depression, post-traumatic stress, and the complex social problem of suicide, specifically police suicide. This day creates a turning point in the class as we transition to introspectiveness. On day four, participants dive into advanced topics surrounding untreated serious mental illness and public safety. Most importantly, they learn their Adverse Childhood Experiences score, an eye-opening experience. Additionally, we provide a screening of the Emmy award-winning HBO documentary “Ernie and Joe: Crisis Cops.” On day five participants learn to look at their own mental wellness as a way to guide their responses in all human interactions.

The last course of the training is the most valuable and provides tangible skills to implement mental resilience. The week is completed when participants pass a written exam and a practical application assessment. Throughout the week, scenario-based training is utilized to develop the skills of the participants. SolutionPoint+ uses a community-based training model that is law enforcement led and community supported. We bring in local resources and stakeholders to foster community relationships. There is tremendous value in first responders knowing what resources are available in their communities. The premise of this course is to promote behavior change through human connection.
