A crisis event, such as someone struggling with the devastating repercussions of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Rumsey 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 and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or antagonistic incident, etc.
In many cases, 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 episode and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to effectively address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services 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 program.
