A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the devastating effects of a mental health issue such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Clermont is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a potentially dangerous or hostile encounter, etc.
In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health issue and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
