Crisis Units by County: " Albany County " New York City (Bronx, Kings, Queens & Richmond Counties Helpline ; LIFENET or ; Spanish Line ! A full list by County is located in the resource folder 31
32 ! Law Enforcement or CIT should be involved when there is a situation/crisis where there is a concern or threat of harm to one s self or others.! In cases where there are not crisis units available in your area in which you reside, call 911.! It is important to let the officers know what the situation consists of (give them as many details as possible) so when they arrive they know what to expect and how to better handle the crisis. 32
33 ! Often times a person will only become aggressive if they are intoxicated or on another drug.! No matter your work or education; healthcare, human services, business or any field, you might deal with angry or hostile individuals. It s important to handle any situation with understanding, while knowing your response to defensive behavior is often the key to avoiding a physical confrontation with someone who has lost control of their behavior. 33
34 ! Speak slowly and confidently, using a gentle and caring tone of voice! Do not respond in a hostile, disciplinary or challenging manner! Do not argue, threaten, as this may increase the fear or prompt aggressive behavior! Avoid raising your voice and/or talking fast! Be aware as they may overreact to negative words; only use positive words, such as stay calm instead of negative words, such as don t fight 34
35 ! Do not restrict the person s movement: if they want to pace, allow them while setting limits! Remain aware that certain acts, such as involving law enforcement, might exacerbate the situation! Consider taking a break from the conversation to allow the person a chance to calm down! Allow silence for reflection; this gives them a chance to reflect on what s happening! Allow time for decisions; if a person is upset, they may not think clearly, it s ok for them to take a few moments to think (According to the Mental Health First Aid USA training) 35
36 ! Training available for adults and youth, offered in an 8 hour course! Mental Health First Aid aims to teach members of the public how to respond in a mental health emergency and offer support to someone who appears to be in emotional distress " Signs of Addiction and Mental Illnesses " 5-step action plan to assess a situation and help " Impact of mental and substance use disorders " Local resources and where to turn for help " For more information on the training course and where the course is offered please visit: Mental Health First Aid USA 36
