On February 26th, Dawn Pruitt, our CCBHC Grant Director, attended a webinar training on integrated care as part of the National Council for Mental Wellbeing's Behavioral Health Training Institute. Dawn is one of only 20 individuals from across the country to be participating in this 11th cohort of the BHTI, and is doing so with a partner from the Hendricks County Health Department.

In this training, presenter Dr. Jeff Capobianco explained modern approaches to integrated care, such as the National Council's Comprehensive Healthcare Integration (CHI) framework. This model integrates not only primary care and behavioral health care, but also dental care, specialty care, and social determinants of health to provide a truly multi-disciplinary system of care for patients.

We hope to use these insights and guidance to continue improving the care that we are able to provide to our consumers!

Last week, Montgomery County held its first ever Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training. This is an important and exciting development for mental health services throughout the county!

CIT training is a special program that connects law enforcement personnel with mental health care and public health professionals. The goal is to help police officers understand mental illness, learn how to peacefully de-escalate a mental health crisis, and empower them to connect individuals in crisis to appropriate treatment and support.

Cummins team members Liz LeMay and McKenzie Skirvin attended this training to present key information on adult and youth mental health topics. The photo shows Crawfordsville Chief of Police, Aaron Mattingly, addressing event attendees.
