Like the other skill enhancement trainings in Pennsylvania (forensics, veterans, older adults, etc.) this training is designed to give the participants extra skills to specialize in a particular service area.
This training is specifically designed to prepare CPSs to work in crisis services (telephone, mobile, walk-in, and residential). Topics covered include the Mental Health Procedures Act, roles and responsibilities of a CPS in crisis services, de-escalation, and suicide assessment and prevention.
