I met Mike several years ago at a Suicide Prevention training and as a clinician, I was very impressed with the work that he shared he had done with crisis interventions teams. Fast forward to 5 years ago, our Undersheriff at the time, approached me about CIT training for their department. I reached out to Mike and we have been partnering with him and his trainers ever since. It is always a pleasure to work with Mike and his team and the feedback from both law enforcement and Behavioral Health staff that participate in the training is extremely positive. We have also incorporated de-escalation trainings for non-clinical staff which has been a significant support for staff that are not clinically trained in the Behavioral Health Department, as well as other local departments and agencies. We continue to schedule annual trainings because they are of such benefit and value to our staff and our community. Thank you to Mike and his team!
