What People Are Saying

“The Crisis Intervention Association of PA’s annual conference is one of the better among all of the states as they bring in all levels of expertise from the front lines to the state administrators-people with real experience and much expertise around planning, operations and training as well as lessons learned. This is an annual conference that is worthwhile consistently.”

April Natural, Traumatic Stress Specialist, ICF International

“Crisis Intervention Services and other emergency services are often the first or only contact for local community members seeking information or access to behavioral health services. Additionally, these services act as a safety net for community emergencies and provide access for other community members with long standing mental illnesses. The Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services have asked the CIAP to engage with them in building a high quality system of crisis and emergency services across the Commonwealth. The CIAP has brought its diverse membership and talent to assist in determining the “state of the state”, assist in policy development and identify best practices.”
