Ever thought about the pressure first responders face when dealing with mental health crises? This episode of 'The High Cost of Anonymity' podcast dives into the world of Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) for police, sheriff, fire departments, EMS, and crisis teams. Host Preston Moore shares his experience conducting CIT for the Columbus Police Department, shedding light on the critical need for such training across public service agencies.
The goal is simple yet profound: to provide first responders with the tools they need to handle mental health and addiction-related emergencies effectively, reducing the risk of harm in tense situations. Through engaging anecdotes and reflections, Moore explores the persistent stigma surrounding mental health and addiction, emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding. The episode also tackles common misconceptions and mistakes in addressing these issues, stressing the value of normalizing support services like therapy and counseling.
Listeners will gain insight into how inherited family rules and emotional dysfunctions can influence one's mental health, and why it's crucial to prioritize emotional well-being just as much as physical fitness. By advocating for a shift in perception and encouraging personal growth, this episode offers a fresh perspective on preventing crises through self-improvement and emotional resilience.
Tune in to discover how first responders can be better prepared to support their communities and why breaking the silence around mental health struggles is more important than ever.
