Community Crisis Responder Training

CARE Community Crisis Responders (CCR) complete a rigorous training plan collaboratively developed by CARE leadership, the Seattle Police Department (SPD) and the Seattle Fire Department (SFD).

Community Crisis Responders are trained in the following:

  • Crisis Response and Intervention Training (CRIT)
  • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and First Aid
  • Trauma-Informed Care
  • De-escalation and Defensive Tactics

In addition, Community Crisis Responders regularly partner with local agencies to attend and co-facilitate trainings, to streamline and optimize the delivery of behavioral health services to those whom they serve.
