A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the tragic effects of a mental health issue such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Randolph 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 those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing 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 involves 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 address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or antagonistic incident, etc.
In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a mental health issue and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. 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 treat them in a mental health recovery program.
