Description

Results from a recent study examining community capacity to provide mental/behavioral health intervention to people with IDD highlighted the need for crisis response and a reliance of community-based residential service providers on first responders in situations involving a person with IDD who is experiencing a behavioral crisis. In addition, two models, a police training program in Georgia and a behavioral crisis intervention model from Alaska, will be discussed.
