A crisis event, such as someone struggling with the devastating effects of a mental health disability such as 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 Paulding is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help individuals 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 react and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train 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 resolve the crisis without it developing into a potentially combative or aggressive situation, etc.
In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health crisis and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health program.
