NEPA CIT

NEPA CIT is committed to crisis intervention training for First Responders and related professionals.

Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) developed in Memphis, TN in 1988 with partnerships from the Memphis Police Department, NAMI, mental health professionals and advocates. The CIT Program was developed and implemented in Lackawanna County in 2010, with ten individuals attending a CIT “Train the Trainer” course in Johnstown, PA. All officers and emergency personnel registered for the training on a volun

tary basis. In 2017, Scranton Area CIT evolved into NEPA CIT through the direction of The Advocacy Alliance. Currently, Lackawanna County has partnered with The Advocacy Alliance, NEPA CIT for the Lackawanna County De-Escalation and Crisis Intervention Collaboration Project. The 40-hour comprehensive training emphasizes mental health-related topics, crisis resolution skills and de-escalation training, and access to community-based services. The format of the training consists of the Mental Health First Aid certification course, lectures, on-site visitation and exposure to several mental health facilities, intensive interactions with the individuals with a mental illness and family members, and scenario-based de-escalation skill training. The goals of The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) consist of the following:
- Increase officer, consumer, and community safety
- Divert persons in a mental health crisis away from the Criminal Justice System and toward treatment
- Establish a relationship of trust among consumers, families, and law enforcement
- Provide other options
- Reduce stigma

This Telecommunications Week, we’re taking a moment to recognize the calm voices behind the chaos—the ones who answer every call, no matter the hour.
Behind every siren, every response, and every emergency—there’s a voice guiding it all.
During Telecommunications Week, we celebrate the dispatchers who show up every single day with patience, resilience, and heart. They handle the unthinkable, stay calm under pressure, and make sure help gets where it’s needed—fast.
This week, let’s make sure they feel the appreciation they deserve. Drop a comment, send a message, or simply say “thank you.” It means more than you know.
Your dedication, strength, and compassion do not go unnoticed. We appreciate you more than words can say
