The ASU School of Social Work & Center for Applied Behavioral Health Policy assembles experts, leaders, and veterans from Public Safety sectors including: firefighters, police officers, criminal justice professionals, emergency medical responders, and emergency response coordinators for cross training opportunities with Behavioral Health professionals in order to craft a strong, integrated, coordinated community response.

The Winter Institute hosts over 225 public safety and behavioral health professionals addressing the diverse demands of individuals and agencies. Cross-training between departments, as well as behavioral health professionals, are vital components helping identify the most efficient, effective and ideal ways to help and serve your community. You’ll also learn how to recognize drug-induced behavioral symptoms, the best ways to respond, compassion/ work fatigue, trauma-informed response, and how to take a person-centered approach when responding to incidents.

Join us Thursday and Friday, April 8-9, 2020 for the 3rd Annual Winter Institute: First Responder & Behavioral Health Cross-Training at ASU SkySong Campus in Scottsdale, Arizona.
