Growing the Pie
Obstacles & Stumbling Blocks
Why was CIT needed in Adams County, a rural community?
EDOs took up to 9 hours No locked unit at the local hospital
Historical Barriers
Lack of solid reputation of the mental health center Key law enforcement personnel did not believe mental
health fell under their domain Other law enforcement was on board, but felt all key law
enforcement personnel needed to be on board for it to work in the county
Why People Came to the Table
Mental Health Superior Court Judge Circuit Court Judge Chief of Police Sheriff Prosecutor Local Hospital County Council Member
Obstacles
Lacked manpower to have officers leave for a week Hospital was concerned about increase of self pay clients
NAMI
Closest NAMI was 40-60 minutes away, depending on where in the county people lived.
No encompassing regular groups to meet needs of individuals and their families that was free.
