We provide Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) or de-escalation training in mental health crisis response plus a whole variety of other services and resources.

98% of the people who have taken the Mental Health Crisis Response Institute Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training or the De-escalation training report that it is "excellent" or "very good".
Many attendees write in the comment section of the evaluation form that it is the "best training I have ever had" and "everyone in my organization needs this training".
The use of seclusion and restraints has been eliminated or greatly reduced in all organizations that have taken our training and trained their staff members in verbal and nonverbal de-escalation skills.
Organizations who have trained staff members in de-escalation skills also report much lower rates of staff and client injuries from crisis situations and higher employee morale and client satisfaction.
