Webinar: Crisis Intervention for Community Organizations

This webinar is a follow-up to the City of Phoenix Crisis Response Forum held in April from the standpoint of citizens and law enforcement and emergency responders.

Recent events at a Maryvale community center that resulted in the death of a man experiencing a crisis opens up questions about proper techniques to help customers, clients and visitors when they may undergo a behavioral health crisis. What can staff members and leaders learn about how to handle similar situations? We've collected experts from the fields of disaster response, mental health and police training to address this incredibly timely topic.

This session will provide practical takeaways for public facilities, nonprofits and organizations.

This webinar is hosted by the Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council and the Phoenix Mayor's Commission on Disability Issues.

Speakers include:

- Christian Johnson, MBA, MS, LCSW, education consultant, chair of the Phoenix Mayor's Commission on Disability Issues
- Frank O'Halloran, masters in criminal justice, crisis services liaison at Mercy Maricopa Integrated Care, retired lieutenant with Scottsdale Police Department
- Ray Morris, FEMA consultant and retired firefighter, founder of Dads 4 Special Kids
