A crisis event, for example a person experiencing the devastating consequences of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Urbana 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 individuals in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a possibly violent or antagonistic situation, etc.
In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health recovery program.
