Crisis Intervention Team Training Provider

The State of Connecticut (CT), represented by the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), is soliciting proposals from qualified independent organizations to provide Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training. DMHAS is the primary funding entity for CIT Training for law enforcement in CT. CIT Training aims to provide a comprehensive training program that includes education, tools and resources for local/municipal and state (State Troopers) law enforcement, first responders, and behavioral health clinicians on how to interact and engage with individuals who may be experiencing a behavioral health (mental health and/or substance use) crisis. DMHAS seeks to continue to fund a statewide CIT Training program to improve the way law enforcement responds to individuals experiencing mental health and/or addiction crisis, their families, and other partners.
