About the Event

Course Description: Day 1 will discuss the basic functions of a peer support team of a public safety agency.  It will discuss policies and management of an effective peer support team.  Day 2 & 3 will cover the Assisting Individuals in Crisis ICISF course.  Crisis Intervention is NOT psychotherapy; rather, it is a specialized acute emergency mental health intervention that requires specialized training.
