What is CIP, you ask?

Crisis Intervention Partners (CIP) is a community-based training program designed to strengthen how we respond to individuals experiencing mental health crises, trauma, substance use challenges, and other difficult situations.

While Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training focuses primarily on law enforcement and human services, CIP expands that collaboration by bringing together community partners, including EMS, fire departments, schools, healthcare providers, church groups, dispatchers, and others who commonly encounter individuals in crisis.

This August, Pepin County will begin offering CIP training as part of our continued commitment to improving communication, collaboration, safety, and support for individuals and families in our community.

By working together, we can build a stronger and more compassionate response system for everyone in Pepin County.
