90-min training focused on the critical coordination of response systems to effectively support the most vulnerable members of our communities. This heightened stability not only enhances safety, health, and equity but also reduces barriers to community-based alternatives to incarceration and prosecution for individuals affected by unmanaged substance use, mental health challenges, or severe poverty.
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
- Recognize options for alternative responses that are available, how to engage them to support individuals experiencing behavioral health issues that arrest alone cannot improve.
- Understand how the LEAD model of system coordination and response to public safety and public order issues arising from behavioral health and poverty has become a deeper part of WA State policy.
- Articulate how implementation of the LEAD model is creating opportunities for connection and coordination within communities and between jurisdictions weaving together the beginning of a stronger and more responsive safety net.
