Crisis Intervention Training Opportunity

If you are interested in attending this training please email me at prvanderlinden@pulaskischools.org.

The Green Bay Police Department has received a large training grant from the Wisconsin Department of Justice and will be partnering with NAMI Brown County and the FamilyServices Crisis Center to hold two mental health related trainingcourses: CIP and CIT.  The CIP course is for civilian or non-sworn people and trains them on how to respond to persons in a mental health crisis situation.  CIP stands for Crisis Intervention Partners and is a shorter version of the week long Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) that is offered to sworn law enforcement officers. 

        CIP is a 16 hour, two day training course, being offered May 19-20, 2015 at                                                 the Rock Garden Conference Center in Green Bay.  

Mental health is a serious concern for all of us and training like this is essential to help all of us have the best response possible for those we serve.  Normally CIP training costs $100 per participant, but because of the grant this training will be offered at no cost to your agency or organization.  In addition, for positions that have a minimum safety staffing requirement, such as 911 dispatchers or jailers, there is some limited grant funding available to help offset the costs to those agencies for overtime if the attendee's shifts needed to be filled with someone on overtime.   Because of this, NAMI Brown County reserves the right to limit the number of attendees from any one agency so that we can spread the training out.  If you have staff who regularly interact with people who might be struggling with mental illness, please consider sending them to this two day training opportunity.  

Registrations are due by May 8th, but early registration is recommended as space and funding are limited.  Online registration can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CIP519.
