The Ultimate Warrior (Mental Health)

Based on the principals of Gen Sun Tzu in the Art of War , the class explores the use of de-escalation techniques. Treating all human beings with Dignity and Respect is the first step to de-escalating any conflict. The course focuses on recognizing the signs of mental illness and the signs preceding an escalation of behavior. A majority of incidents can be averted by recognizing that our own biases and feelings are triggers and attempting to de-escalate while treating the other party with dignity and respect. The impact of physical restraint or altercations is costly in both personal injuries and litigation. Course principles are reinforced through the use of scenarios for practical application. “The Supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting”-Sun Tzu

Jail Competency Restoration & EDO

The jail has a role in the competency restoration of individuals in custody and ensuring the rights of these individuals. The competency waitlists continue to grow and wait times are excessive, yet there are still actions the jail can take to reduce cost, reduce wait times, and Ensure the individual rights. The law now requires a police agency’s good faith effort to divert individuals with mental illness from the jail. It is also necessary to treat those in custody and divert when indicated. There are several options for addressing these cases including education of local agencies, fit for confinement on psychiatric emergencies, APOWW/EDO releases from custody, and the team roles in reviewing and referring these Cases. This session reviews options available to the jail in addressing competency cases and diversion of individuals with mental health needs.
