CARE Community Crisis Responders (CCR) complete a rigorous training plan collaboratively developed by CARE leadership, the Seattle Police Department (SPD) and the Seattle Fire Department (SFD).
Community Crisis Responders are trained in the following:
- Crisis Response and Intervention Training (CRIT)
- Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and First Aid
- Trauma-Informed Care
- De-escalation and Defensive Tactics
In addition, Community Crisis Responders regularly partner with local agencies to attend and co-facilitate trainings, to streamline and optimize the delivery of behavioral health services to those whom they serve.
