We are gearing up for our community engagement tonight in Kearney and busy finalizing learning materials for our Basic CIT Class in Omaha! It is a busy week for CIT!

Welcome to Wellness Wednesday! Tips each Wednesday to a whole healthier you!

DEFUSE is a great acronym to remember how to de-escalate a person in a behavioral health crisis!

Fun Fact Friday

Week two of Wellness Wednesday is a reminder to take some time and go on a walk!

Another way to look at de-escalation this week it to look at these "10 Commandments" of De-esclation.

Fun Fact Friday!

This weeks de-esclation tip is to have silence in conversation to allow for reflection.

This weeks Fun Fact is that May is Mental Health Awareness month.
