I work with communities to increase the use and availability of crisis intervention. Specifically, Crisis Intervention Team training. I collect data on training's that occur throughout the state of Ohio. This work involves multiple stakeholders both private and public and intersects with criminal justice and mental health issues. We eventually need a streamlined data collection and analysis platform to make access to treatment easier for both patients and stewards of public health.
