The purpose of the training, which is being provided by Behavioral Health Response, is to teach participants how to assess a situation, select and implement appropriate intervention and help a person who is in crisis or developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness. 

Behavioral Health Response is a professionally staffed, technologically sophisticated, accredited clinical call center. Jewish Federation has allocated special funds for this training.
