Thank you to the Jamestown RI Police Department for hosting our training “Working with Individuals Experiencing a Mental Health Crisis.” Newport Mental Health’s Division Director of Crisis Stabilization Services, Brigitte Shaffer, led the training, designed to assist law enforcement with identifying and managing a psychiatric crisis. As the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) for Newport County, we are proud to support all first responders. Newport Mental Health’s mobile crisis teams co-respond when requested for evaluations, de-escalation, and care for those in behavioral health crisis. #newportmentahealth #CCBHC (fb)
