The CIT ECHO

The CIT ECHO (CIT Knowledge Network) is a collaboration with the UNM’s Project ECHO, the Albuquerque Police Department, and the Crisis Intervention Team Inc. to bring specialty training, support, and knowledge in CIT policing and mental health to front line law enforcement and public safety personnel. This is a CIT extension training to supplement previous CIT training.  It does this by engaging law enforcement and providers in a continuous case based learning system and partnering them with specialist mentors at an academic medical center or hub.
 
Some of the goals of this project are:
  • Improve CIT Responses
  • Create and share best practices
  • Give immediate access to mental health providers and subject matter experts for feedback
  • Mentor law enforcement and public safety in effective CIT practice
  • Continue the conversation on mental health

 The CIT ECHO is hosted weekly on Zoom Meeting Tuesdays from 1330-1500pm MST
