Crisis Intervention for those with Mental Illness

The American Psychological Association estimates that approximately half of all Americans will qualify as having a mental health issue or a mental disorder in their lifetime. When that much of the population has an ongoing issue, it's important for law enforcement to not just understand that the issue is there, but also to understand more about it and how to respond to it. In this course, Dr. Davis, PhD, will discuss the importance on focusing on behaviors, not labels or diagnoses, how to be A-PART of the solution, and the value of proactively responding to community members with mental disorders.
