When a person suffers a mental-health crisis, law enforcement is often the first on the scene. This course,
Interacting With and De- Escalating the Special Needs Population, provides resources and training for anyone who may interact with this population.
Participants will learn some characteristics of individuals in crisis and basic techniques to respond in such situations. By the end of the course, students will understand different de-escalation techniques, be able to identify suicidal behavior and language, and learn how the lives of those suffering from mental-health issues are affected by incarceration. Students can expect interactive learning experiences, including a PowerPoint presentation, videos, and group work.
