SBH hosts 17th CIT Training

Southside Behavioral Health recently hosted its 17th 40-hour core training class for the CIT Program.  The participants were made up of local law enforcement, Sheriff’s Offices, State Police, Hospital Security, 911 operators, and MRRJ (Meherrin River Regional Jail). The Instructors continue to be a combination of Law Enforcement and Mental Health Professionals who cover topics relative to crisis intervention and assist individuals to access the appropriate care and avoid entry into the prison system. Congratulations to the 17th graduating class! The next class will be held in March!
