It will be presented by Kirk Heilbrun, PhD, Patricia Griffin, PhD, David DeMatteo, JD, PhD, Ed Mulvey, PhD and Carol Schubert, MPH and Lt. Michael Woody, (Ret).

9:00 to 9:20 Welcome and Opening Comments - Honorable John Zottola, Allegheny Court of Common Pleas, Kirk Heilbrun, PhD, Co-Director: PA Mental Health

and Justice Center of Excellence, Ed Mulvey, PhD, Co-Director: PA Mental Health and Justice Center of Excellence

9:20 to 10:30 The Value of Training Officers in Specialized Responding: Community and Correctional Contexts - Joel Dvoskin, PhD

In a sense, police and correctional officers may be the busiest mental health workers in America. Often, the first call made in response to a psychological or emotional crisis is to the police department, and all too often the person’s destination is not an emergency room, but jail. Whether they respond to a reported crime, an out-of-control inmate, or to conduct a welfare check on an allegedly suicidal person, well trained officers can give people in crisis the gift of kindness and safety. Untrained, however, the response of officers can be terrifying, harmful, and even deadly. Dr. Dvoskin will discuss the appropriate role of well-trained police and correctional officers as mental health first responders.

10:30 to 11:00 Assessing the Need in Pennsylvania: The Center of Excellence Website, Conversations with Counties, and the State Survey

- Katy Winckworth-Prejsnar, Research Coordinator, Center of Excellence, Edward P. Mulvey, Ph.D., Co-Director, Center of Excellence, Kirk Heilbrun, Ph.D., Co-Director, Center of Excellence, and Carol A.

held in a number of Pennsylvania counties to date with a particular focus on the animated discussions and significant needs seen at Intercept 1 - the intersection of law enforcement and crisis services

• Statewide survey of needs at Intercept 1

Sergeant Robert Celuck, Scranton Police Department Marie Onukiavage, Executive Director of NAMI Scranton Area • This session will discuss the barriers faced when implementing CIT in the community while providing practical strategies for

success, collaboration, and buy-in.

Session # 2: Involving Consumers and Family Members in Law Enforcement Training Wendy Stewart, NAMI Coordinator, Laurel Highlands Region Police CIT Program NAMI Cambria County Family Member NAMI Cambria County Consumer • Consistently rated the most impactful segment of the 40-hour CIT training, the Laurel Highlands Region Police CIT Program

will demonstrate how individuals with mental illness and their family members play a crucial role in the training of law enforcement leaving powerful and lasting impressions

Session # 3: Implementing CIT in State Prison, Jail, and Forensic Settings Kirk Heilbrun, PhD, Drexel University Lance Couturier, PhD, Consultant to PA DOC Superintendent Ken Cameron, PA DOC – SCI Cresson Scott Buchanan, PhD, PA DOC Marcia Hepner, Chief Forensic Executive, Torrance State Hospital Regional Forensic Psychiatric Center • This session will discuss the importance and utility of specialized response training for staff working in correctional and

forensic settings. Both state and local initiatives will be discussed. Pennsylvania DOC will discuss a new initiative to provide CIT across the state prison system. Unlike CIT in the community or corrections, forensic settings require a much more specialized training to address the specific needs of forensic patients.

Session #4: Probation & Parole’s Perspective on Special Police and Behavioral Health Response Jennifer Lopez-Cerrato, Deputy Chief, Chester County Adult Probation/Parole Jeff Imboden, State Parole Board Member • Probation and parole personnel have a unique perspective regarding specialized police and behavioral response.

Session #5: Implementing Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) in Your County: Building on the Experience of Blair and Monroe Counties James Hudack, Blair County MH/MR Administrator Jim Fouts, Director of New Perspectives Crisis Services, Monroe/Carbon/Pike Counties Bryan Gibb, Director of Public Education, National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare • MHFA is a groundbreaking early intervention public education program that teaches community members how to assist a

person experiencing a behavioral health issue. Session will provide descriptions of two different county programs that have successfully implemented MHFA and the hurdles they faced.

12:30 to 1:30 Lunch

1:30 to 2:45 Concurrent Session II

Session # 6: Law Enforcement and Crisis Services Working Together York CIT - Kenneth H. Watts, York/Adams HealthChoices Management Unit LE Coordinator, York CIT Crisis Program Coordinator, York County LE Officers Bucks CIT • While much of the national discussion at Intercept 1 typically focuses on training for law enforcement, this session will instead

focus on the critical role of crisis services and the ways crisis services and law enforcement can work together more effectively.

Session # 7: Addressing Veterans, Military Culture, and Trauma Officer Patty Melendez, City of Pittsburgh Police Department Julie Bergstresser, VJO Specialist, Lebanon VAMC • Incarceration is one 9-1-1 call away for a combat veteran. Intrusive images can cause honorable military members to commit

crime. Military families walk on egg shells to prevent flashbacks. Law enforcement needs specialized training to help wounded warriors, keep the community safe, and go home at the end of their shift. This session will discuss the integration of military culture, trauma informed practices, and resources specifically for veterans into police response for this population.

Session # 8: Autism, Adolescence, Sexuality, and the Criminal Justice System: Addressing Needs Sooner Rather Than Later Larry Sutton, PhD, Manage/Psychologist, Department of Public Welfare • This presentation will focus on a close examination of New Castle Adolescent Sexual Offenders Program in Pennsylvania,

looking for the presence of autism spectrum disorder in its residents. Dr. Sutton will discuss the research need defining emerging best practices in terms of identification and treatment for persons with developmental disabilities who become involved in criminal justice.

Session # 9: Teaching De-escalation Skills Laurel Highlands Region Police CIT Program Officer Dan Marguccio, City of Johnstown P.D., Law Enforcement Coordinator Mike Thomas, Manager-Security Service, Conemaugh-Memorial Medical Center, CIT Officer, Windber PD Tom Bender, Crisis Supervisor, Bedford-Somerset County MH/MR • This interactive session will provide the audience with an overview of performance-based training involving the development of

First

Aid is administered until appropriate treatment and support are received or until the crisis is resolved. Philadelphia is the first major metropolitan areas in the United States to pilot an 8-hour version of MHFA targeted for public safety staff.

2:45 – 3:00 Break

3:00 – 3:45 Mental Health First Aid for Public Safety Employees Bryan Gibb, Director of Public Education, National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare Mental Health First Aid is a groundbreaking public education program that helps the public identify, understand, and

respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. This session will discuss the development of an 8-hour curriculum for law enforcement/public safety employees currently being piloted in Philadelphia with formal rollout planned for January 1, 2013.

3:45 – 5:00 Plenary Discussion - Moving Forward with a Statewide Initiative A closing session soliciting input from workshop participants on next steps Pennsylvania should take to expand

successful specialized response training initiatives and collaborations between law enforcement and behavioral health systems across the Commonwealth.
