Porter-Starke Services recently partnered with local law enforcement to bring vital Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training to first responders. This evidence-based training equips law enforcement with the skills to effectively respond to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis and can safely support those in crisis with the proper care and treatment. ? Officers and social workers from the Porter County Sheriff’s Office and other area police departments attended this week-long training, which included educational sessions led by our team members and tours of Porter-Starke Services facilities as well as other community mental health agencies.
