Upcoming Trainings
NOTICE - CIT trainings are briefly paused while the team transitions to a new backbone agency.
Trainings are scheduled to resume in Fall 2026.
Our trainings and workshops are specifically designed for first responders and other crisis workers. If you’re unsure whether your occupation qualifies, please email Caitlin Gomes at CGomes@citri.org.
All of our trainings are offered at no-cost. We have limited capacity for each training, so please sign-up early!
“More than a training”
Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT) bring together law enforcement, behavioral health professionals, advocates, and people with lived experience to develop communit-based solutions to improve outcomes for people in crisis.
A program that works for your community.
Meet and connect with our CIT coordinators to find out how to develop a CIT program within your community.
Wellness support for first responders
CIT-RI incorporates first responder wellness and safety into each program. Connecting responders with PTSD support and peer support teams are a critical component of every CIT program.
“CIT is not a panacea, but is a necessary start for our future – promoting excellent services with hope and dignity. CIT is the calling by which to embrace and capture a new ‘heart’ – yes, CIT is ‘MORE’ than just training.”
-Maj. Sam Cochran, retired, Co-Chairman CIT International Board of Directors
“This training is an absolute must for every first responder/officer/member of society to take. It changed my perspective.”
-Officer from Jan ‘23 Academy
