Crisis Intervention Training (CIT)
The Philadelphia Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) is a coordinated effort among the Philadelphia Police Department, the Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services, Mental Health Partnerships, the Police Advisory Commission, Project H.O.M.E., the Family and Training Advocacy Center, and the University of Pennsylvania.
CIT training emphasizes the principles of violence prevention, de-escalation, and community collaboration. The purpose of the training is to promote empathy and understanding while increasing effective communication with community members when they are in some of the most vulnerable phases of their life. The training is based on a widely utilized and innovative model of crisis intervention.
