Here are a few things on my mind lately:
- We lost a deputy in the line of duty earlier this week. The community is feeling the loss with grief and pride.
- Since that event happened I've mentally reviewed many interactions with law enforcement officers.
- one question is to the effect CIT training/practice has on law enforcement attitudes toward behavioral health professionals. Experience points to a range from none to thinking a 40-hour class makes an officer a counselor.
- The role of technology in self-assessment and promoting mental health continue to advance. (link) "The National Center for Telehealth & Technology (T2), designs and builds applications employing emerging technologies in support of psychological health and traumatic brain injury recovery in the military. Equally important is our work toward eradicating stigma that can deter Service Members from seeking help."
