The National Criminal Justice Training Center of Fox Valley Technical College and the Lummi Nation will host a training conference that examines common issues faced by law enforcement and service providers when encountering a person in crisis. Participants will: review methods to prevent or intervene in a crisis situation in which mental illness is a factor, including de-escalation and communication techniques; learn to identify presenting symptoms of various types of mental illnesses; explore intervention strategies and methods for assessing the presence of suicidal intention; and discuss the lifelong impact that trauma has on individuals such as veterans, children, domestic violence survivors, and individuals impacted by historical trauma.
