CIP Testimonials

“In my role as Crisis Intervention Partner Program Coordinator for the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, it is amazing to watch, first-hand, the impact which these trainings have for the participants. Through information and practice, we are re-training participants to effectively use attitudes, beliefs, and verbal/non-verbal skills as a part of their response to crisis situations with inmates diagnosed with a mental illness. CIP utilizes the best of a public health model approach, by including diverse voices from outside and within the prison to collectively address the current reality for inmates behind the prison wall. It is a privilege to be a part of this process. ”

“Please make CIP part of all officer training, at the academy and at each prison. Everyone needs this information when dealing with the population we serve. ”

“The program was very effective and informational. I am interested in getting this training for more people in my personal and professional circles.”
