Sheriff Chuck Atkins is pleased to announce the Clark County Corrections Branch and partner agency Columbia River Mental Health Services have been selected to present two presentations at the 2019 Crisis Intervention Team International Conference in Seattle, WA August 26-28, 2019.

 

Presentations entitled “CIT for Corrections: In-Custody Risk Avoidance” and “Medication Assisted Treatment in Clark County Jail” will be paneled by Corrections Staff and members of our partner agencies. 

 

Both presentations highlight coordination with the jail’s Reentry Program.  Started in 2014, the Reentry program offers a range of in-custody services through community partnerships including Medicaid sign up, housing assessments, chemical dependency assessments, sober supports, peer mentoring, education, employment and more. 

 

CIT International, Inc. is a nonprofit membership organization whose primary purpose is to facilitate understanding, development, and implementation of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) programs throughout the U.S. and worldwide in order to promote and support collaborative efforts to create and sustain more effective interactions among law enforcement, mental health care providers, individuals with mental illnesses, their families, and communities and to reduce the stigma of mental illness.  http://www.citinternational.org
