Greg Truhan is a certified Crisis Intervention topics instructor for the Ohio Basic Police Academy and a police in-service Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training instructor. He is also a consultant for the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) Board of Cuyahoga County.
CIT programs are local initiatives designed to improve the way law enforcement and the community respond to people experiencing mental health crises. Greg will discuss recent history and development of the program and ways it benefits officers, families and individuals. Communication and de-escalation tools, the do’s and don’ts when responding to a person in a mental health crisis, are keys to success. CIT skills are not only for law enforcement. Learning these techniques can empower family members to better interact with their loved one.
