A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the tragic effects of a mental health situation like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Forada is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education 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 techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it developing into a potentially dangerous or hostile event, 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 health episode and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in a mental health program.
