Podcasts about cit training

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Jessica Johnson, a licensed professional counselor, and manager of Behavioral Health Integration at Valley Health Behavioral Health Services. Mental Health Monday is a new series for 2025 aimed at addressing various mental health issues throughout the year. Janet expresses the unexpected and overwhelming need for such a series, especially in light of recent mass casualty events. Every month, the series will focus on different mental health topics, providing tips and strategies for self-care. Jessica brings a wealth of experience to the conversation, including her background in psychology, criminal justice, crisis intervention, and behavioral health. The discussion begins with the acknowledgment of the intense stress and anxiety that people are experiencing, exacerbated by recent tragedies like the helicopter/plane crash at both Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport as well as in a Philadelphia neighborhood.  Jessica highlights that everyone reacts differently to trauma and stress, elaborating on the concept of vicarious trauma—absorbing others' trauma by hearing their stories. She discusses how social media and news coverage can heighten anxiety and fear, leading to a sense of helplessness and catastrophizing. Janet shares a personal anecdote about attending a court hearing that left her deeply shaken and fearful, illustrating how vicarious trauma can affect one's sense of safety and well-being. Jessica confirms this reaction is normal and emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing such feelings. They explore how trauma and stress can manifest differently in individuals, depending on past experiences and personal resilience. Jessica explains the importance of staying in the present and developing coping mechanisms to manage anxiety and stress effectively. The conversation shifts to discussing the role of crisis intervention training (CIT) and the necessity of understanding that everyone's reactions to crises are valid and should be met with compassion rather than judgment. Janet and Jessica agree on the need for more empathy and support in society. Jessica provides practical tips for self-care, including recognizing when one is in crisis, writing down feelings, finding distractions, and understanding personal triggers. They discuss the importance of having a crisis plan and knowing when to seek professional help. Janet inquires about the process of seeing a therapist, noting that many people might find it intimidating. Jessica reassures listeners that therapy is a supportive, non-judgmental environment and encourages trying different therapists to find the right fit. They emphasize the availability of various therapy options, including online platforms.

The Questions for today: Below are some definitions of the illness we are talking about today. Please click the highlighted link to go to the website where the information was found. “Is schizophrenia multiple personality disorder?” Schizophrenia:Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality. Although schizophrenia is not as common as other mental disorders, the symptoms can be very disabling. Dissociative identity disorder:Formerly known as multiple personality disorder, this disorder is characterized by alternating between multiple identities. A person may feel like one or more voices are trying to take control in their head. Often these identities may have unique names, characteristics, mannerisms and voices. People with DID will experience gaps in memory of every day events, personal information and trauma. Women are more likely to be diagnosed, as they more frequently present with acute dissociative symptoms. Men are more likely to deny symptoms and trauma histories, and commonly exhibit more violent behavior, rather than amnesia or fugue states. This can lead to elevated false negative diagnosis. “What is Schizoaffective Disorder?” Schizoaffective disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized primarily by symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations or delusions, and symptoms of a mood disorder, such as mania and depression. Music used in this episode is the song Teamwork by Scott Holmes from the Free Music Archive.

Is there a difference between Crisis Intervention Training vs. Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training? Matt Tinney and Ben Melendrez discuss training around crisis intervention. What do you use in your program or training? How do you view your training? Is your training part of an overall program or is your training a stand-alone training? Remember a true CIT program is more than training. A big component is looking for resources to be part of the team and to help those in crisis. Training may be a critical part of your CIT program but it should not be the main part. Include your community experts in developing your training. What is your favorite shift for work and training? Ben and Matt both talk about 10-hour shifts and if your training should reflect the work schedule of the students. Should you put on classes that are 10-hour days if your students are working 10-hour days? Do you currently provide training for all shift and hours? Officers make bad audience to outside presenters. Prepare your outside presenters on what to expect when training law enforcement. You may need to work on your common language to not lose your audience. Officers as students sometimes appear distant as students but they are paying attention. How do you check your presenters for bias towards law enforcement? Check in with presenters beforehand. Get to know them and what their agendas may be. Look over their presentation and curriculum to see what the objects are and discuss what will work with law enforcement vs. what will alienate them. Should students have laptops and phones out during class? Ben speaks about why students should be allowed with their electronics. This generation is used to electronics and in college settings most students have laptops open. Officers are used to having to work on their computer while listening to the radio and another outside stimulus. How to check if you should take a specific class or if it is a good class. Ask for the curriculum Ask to see the latest reviews Ask others who have taken the class if they like it Nancy Martin MD then presents “ “That can’t be real... or is it?!?” A guide to delusions, hallucinations, and illusions “ on the CIT ECHO.
