Empowering Police Officers in Mental Health Crisis Response
Make a difference by learning to:
- IDENTIFY A Mental Health Crisis
- COMMUNICATE With Confidence
- RESOLVE Crises More Effectively
You’re a cop. Not a therapist.
Police officers are increasingly being called to the front lines of mental health crisis intervention.
Without the right training and resources, it is challenging to navigate these potentially volatile situations with confidence.
I believe both you and the person in crisis deserve better.
Accept the challenge.
Exceed expectations.
ICR training equips officers with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to begin transforming crisis encounters into positive resolutions that can have a real impact on someone’s life.
BE CONFIDENT
Rest easy knowing you have the ability to identify and more effectively resolve mental health crises.
BE EFFECTIVE
Better stabilize crisis events by building genuine connections through enhanced communication skills.
BE IMPACTFUL
Help individuals in crisis find hope and healing, potentially reducing future calls for service.
I understand the challenges you are facing.
As a retired 30-year law enforcement veteran and IADLEST national-certified instructor, I understand the immense responsibility police officers bear during high-stress events involving a mental health crisis.
I’m here to help you navigate these challenging situations by elevating your crisis response skills, allowing you to positively impact outcomes for everyone involved.
