In this episode, Colette spoke with Jen Gentry, who is the Community Mental Health Liaison with the Northwest Missouri Crisis Intervention Council. We <\/span>invited Jen as a guest on the Building Buchanan podcast because she came up during the interview Colette did with Matt Kneib in Episode 03<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Colette had to say about why she invited Jen on the podcast:<\/p>\n

Jen has worked to revive the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) in Northwest Missouri and provide such valuable training to law enforcement, along with helping so many professionals connect and continue to build their relationships with each other to best support people in our area. She has helped many professionals and law enforcement better recognize and understand autism and other conditions. This work helps provide officers the skills they need to confidently address the needs and to also better understand the agencies and services in the community that can help.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We learned a lot about the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) here in Northwest Missouri, the Council that makes it happen, and what attending the CIT training is like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
