AltaPointe Health Receives Grant to Expand Law Enforcement Training for Mental Health to East Alabama - Clay, Coosa, Randolph, and Talladega Counties
Earlier this month, Governor Kay Ivey awarded a grant to AltaPointe Health’s CCRT Mental Health Partnership to provide specialized training for law enforcement, correctional officers and first responders in Clay, Coosa, Randolph and Talladega counties. The Collaborative Crisis Response Training provided by AltaPointe Health helps first responders correctly identify when a person’s behavior is a result of mental illness, substance use or other disorder. The training also involves techniques and intervention strategies for successfully diffusing and handling those situations. AltaPointe’s CCRT Mental Health Partnership has already proven successful in south Alabama. The program started three years ago, and AltaPointe now trains more than 700 law enforcement officers in Mobile and Baldwin counties each year.
