About this event:
Stark County Mental Health & Addiction Recovery supports the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training of law enforcement professionals in our community. Crucial to reducing violence and ensuring successful intervention of mental health and substance use situations, officers are trained in proven and effective communication techniques.
The CIT model was first developed and implemented in 1988 by the Memphis, Tennessee Police Department. The Team was developed to address the special challenges to law enforcement posed by persons with mental illness and to better serve the community.
Local training is led by StarkMHAR and Law Enforcement Partners and involves area mental health/drug and alcohol service providers, NAMI of Stark County, and consumers of mental health/drug and alcohol services and their families. This specialized training has the following goals:
- To better prepare police officers to handle crises involving people with mental illness and substance use disorders
- To increase mental health/substance use consumer safety
- To increase law enforcement officer safety
- To increase the feeling of safety in the general community
- To make the mental health/drug and alcohol system more understandable, accessible and responsive to law enforcement to the greatest extent possible with community resources
- To divert persons with mental illness/substance use disorders to the mental health/substance use system, when appropriate, and not to incarceration
Since 2004, Stark County’s CIT Training program has certified hundreds of officers and first responders. Comprehensive 40-hour courses have been provided twice each calendar year. Law enforcement officers are selected by their Chiefs, Sheriff or their designers to attend this training. Participants should be volunteers and ideally should have good communication and interpersonal skills. The goal for all law enforcement agencies is to have, at a minimum, 25% of their first responders trained.

Who should attend: Priority will be given to in-direct behavioral health provider staff such as reception, fiscal, front office, support staff, maintenance, housing, and any other non-clinically licensed individuals. However, individuals holding a clinical license may also attend.
About this event: This is a 3-hour interactive presentation on adverse childhood experiences and their impact across the life course. It will include sections on the neurobiology and brain development of children, epigenetics, the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study, and Resilience. It will include small and large group dialog, time for reflection, and actions going forward. This training will assist you in understanding how your own experiences impact your interaction with others in the work environment. Being aware of how you interact (what you say and how you communicate it) with people seeking services at your organization is important to how the person feels about the agency, their services, and even whether they return.
This training will give clinicians tools to:
– Explore the implications of their own trauma in relation to the clients. It’s difficult to help someone address their trauma if the clinician doesn’t recognize and address their own.
– Have a deeper conversation with clients about what may be at the root beyond the diagnosis and established treatment plan.
– Offer an opportunity to develop a deeper clinician to client trust.
Learning Objectives:
– Identify and name at least three culturally and linguistically appropriate approaches.
– Understand common stressors experienced by a diverse Latinx community.
– Define social determinants of health and understand its impact on behavioral health outcomes for both US born and immigrant Latinx communities.
– Learn actionable steps to implement both evidenced-based and promising practices to better serve their community.

Who should attend: Community members, behavioral health providers, community health workers, leadership, nurses, program planning staff, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, certified peer support specialists, educators, system navigators, cultural allies interested in learning more about Allyship are encouraged to attend.
Description:
- Description: The “True Allyship: more than just a title, it’s a verb” training will increase the awareness, knowledge, and skills required to function effectively as an Ally in communities or workspaces that are different than your own. When we look into allyship, it is someone openly committed to supporting other people who may, for whatever reason, feel marginalized, underrepresented, or in some cases, oppressed. Being a true Ally will help remove systemic barriers that challenge a person’s fundamental rights, equal access, and ability to thrive in their community. It will also help to advance health equity in your field of profession or as a community member, such as behavioral health providers, community health workers, leadership, nurses, program planning staff, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, certified peer support specialists, educators, system navigators, and cultural allies. The True Allyship training includes, but is not limited to, five tips on being an ally and how to apply allyship in my profession.
- Learning Objectives (3 minimum):
- Recognize our privileges to have an awareness and acceptance of difference
- Detect my unconscious bias by acknowledging my own culture and navigating my blind spots
- Illustrate allyship when we make a mistake by acknowledging, apologizing, and moving on.
- Demonstrating allyship as a verb in my work or community by applying the tools on allyship.
Isaac Baez will explore allyship being a verb – that it is all about taking action and doing the work to be a true ally. We invite you to be inspired and encouraged by this impactful topic which will begin with a presentation by Isaac Baez, followed by a group of panelists where questions and discussion from participants is encouraged.
