The Mental Health Crisis
Response Institute, MHCRI, brings all the Barbara Schneider Foundation’s training programs together to strengthen the
overarching themes of our mission and goals.The Mental Health Crisis Response Institutegrows the Foundation’s training
mission by partnering with expert trainers and local agencies to provide de-escalation skills and strategies to professionals that
encounter a person with a mental illness who is in crisis. These skills will increase the safety
aspect for the participants in the encounter, reduce the need for seclusion and restraints, reduce the trauma of the crisis,
and keep the person with mental illness on the road to recovery.
"Your efforts have
improved the lives of people with mental illness and helped others better understand the challenges of mental illness so all
people can be treated equally, with dignity and respect.”
