NAMI Wisconsin

We're proud to announce that the Wisconsin Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Program, overseen by NAMI Wisconsin, has earned Platinum Level State Certification from CIT International! 🏆

As the highest level of certification available, platinum certification recognizes programs that have fully incorporated CIT best practices and are recognized as leaders in improving community responses to behavioral health crises.

Thank you to everyone who has played a role in this achievement, including our interdisciplinary WI CIT Advisory Committee, and Wisconsin CIT & CIP Coordinating teams, reflecting the dedication of Wisconsin's law enforcement, behavioral health professionals, advocates, and community partners working together to build a stronger crisis response system.

Yesterday marked the first day of the 2026 CIT Symposium! We kicked off the event with a continuing education course for CIT Officers, featuring live actor simulations to strengthen de-escalation skills in realistic scenarios.

We also hosted our annual CIT Coordinator Meeting, where CIT coordinators from across the state gathered to share updates, exchange ideas, and build valuable connections through networking and collaboration.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an impactful first day. We're looking forward to another day of learning, partnership, and advancing the CIT mission together!
