CRISIS CALL MASTERY 

Curriculum

Resilience driven peak performance improving safety for all

Jim Marshall is a mental health professional deeply embedded in the 9-1-1 industry. He and his team of clinicians and 911Pros collaborate to create expertly-guided, super flexible curriculum and solutions empowering 911Pros to manage calls involving mental crises and suicide risk.
911TI's model, Emergency Mental Health Dispatching (EMHD), transforms the mindsets, approach, and interaction shared by the 911Pro and the caller. For years, 911TI has trained these very first responders in the classroom to deploy EMHD, and now a preliminary study shows that those equipped with EMHD training, and a new science-based suicide protocol

When do you ask a caller if they are considering suicide? How do you ask the question? What do you do to strategically help the person shift from shutting down or pulling the trigger?  
What is the best way to help a caller choose to live? And how do you help the struggling person when they go silent on the call? The answers to these questions must be based on the most current suicidology science customized to the role of the 911Pro.

That's what Building LifeBridges to Suicide Callers - Core Concepts is all about.
