More Information

The Behavioral Health Emergency Partnership Training was developed in collaboration with Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Michigan Department of Health & Human Services as well as subject matter experts in law enforcement, Mental Health, EMS and Mental Health Advocacy. The material in this course is based, in-part, on training material from two previous State-funded trainings, MI-CIS and Managing Mental Health Crisis. In addition, Michigan Law, MCOLES standards, academic research, and recognized best practices have been utilized and referenced in this training.
