🚓 Building Safer, More Compassionate Responses to Crisis

With support from Staunton Farm Foundation, the Armstrong-Indiana Behavioral and Developmental Health Program (AIBDHP) is training local law enforcement to respond to mental health crises with empathy, skill, and care. 💙

Through a $25,000 grant, AIBDHP partnered with Indiana University of Pennsylvania's Police Academy to expand Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) — helping officers learn how to de-escalate situations, connect individuals to treatment, and strengthen community trust.

Since the program’s launch, 38 cadets and 19 officers have completed CIT, with a goal of having at least one CIT-trained officer in every Armstrong and Indiana County police department.

This effort ensures that when someone is in crisis, help comes in the form of understanding and collaboration — not fear or punishment.

🧩 Together, we’re improving community response and creating pathways to treatment and recovery for all.

📞 Learn more about upcoming CIT sessions by contacting AIBDHP at (724) 548-3451 ext. 686.
