94 - Behavioral Intervention and Crisis Intervention Teams: Adapting Strategies from Other Fields

Today is the third and final episode in our series on behavioral and crisis intervention teams with subject matter experts Andrew Cullen and Courtney Tassin. In this episode, we discuss how police departments can adapt strategies to improve their crisis intervention skills. Topics include lessons from the nursing field about working with juveniles in mental health crises, dealing with self-harm, and different ways of responding to mental health crisis calls. LSU NCBRT/ACE is a nationally recognized center for emergency preparedness and response training located at Louisiana State University’s flagship campus in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We provide mobile training to both the national and international emergency response community. Together with our stakeholders, we challenge ourselves each day to influence human safety, security, and resilience in a positive manner.
