CIT stands for Crisis Intervention Team, which is a training model that was created in Memphis, Tennessee to address the special challenges law enforcement faces when someone with a mental health or substance use issue is involved with law enforcement. Goals are around safety, diversion, and access to treatment and support rather than jail whenever possible, which is why StarkMHAR provides the funding for this initiative. Stark County is fortunate to have a partnership between StarkMHAR, the Stark County Sheriff's Office, and NAMI Stark County to conduct this training on an ongoing basis, making better outcomes possible for all. These are just a few of the hundreds of officers who have graduated from CIT training over the years. Learn more about CIT here: starkmhar.org/initi.../crisis-intervention-team-cit/ ...

What works for one person may not work for another, and that’s okay. The path may look different for everyone, but we all deserve more good days together.
