Whenever we ask our CoC partners what trainings everyone would like, the topic of crisis de-escalation is at the top of your wish list!

Our partners at DCMH have advised us that there is a FREE online training available through February 2023 by SMI Adviser (a SAMHSA-funded training & public education project.) This training is open to all and is divided into two parts. Each part is roughly one hour long. A participation certification is available and there are credits offered to those holding certain professional credentials.

Please use the links below to navigate to the training. Since these trainings are not offered by the CoC directly, we ask that all questions and inquiries be directed to SMI Adviser through their website.
