A crisis event, for example someone suffering the devastating consequences 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 Kingdom City is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation 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 dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly dangerous or antagonistic episode, etc.
In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health episode and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual 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.
