For many weeks now, members of the Virginia’s Heartland Crisis Intervention Training have been learning how to respond to situations dealing with mental health issues and how to help those in immediate need. Led by Joe Burton, a crisis intervention trainer with the Crossroads Community Services Board, participants have received both classroom instruction and have taken part in practical exercises delivered by mental health professionals and trained experts. “Mental health is going to be a challenge for law enforcement for the long term, the numbers are going to continue to rise, and we want to best prepare and educate our law enforcement so they can rise to the occasion,” said Burton in a previous interview with The Herald. We commend these men and women for wanting to better our community through their training and helping those with mental health issues.
