Crisis Intervention Team CIT Training

More than 1,600 law enforcement officers, first responders, and other professionals have completed Vaya Health’s Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program. CIT trainings are designed to improve the way law enforcement and the community respond to people experiencing a behavioral health crisis or to individuals with an intellectual/developmental disability (I/DD). CIT is a partnership among law enforcement, mental
health provider agencies, and individuals and families affected by behavioral health disorders. Its goal is to help divert people from the criminal justice system by identifying service options.

Vaya’s CIT training courses are led by experienced first responders, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) representatives, family members of individuals with a behavioral health condition or I/DD and/or in recovery, and behavioral health and I/DD professionals.
Our CIT program is tailored to meet local needs. The training is 40 hours and Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are awarded upon course completion.
