Arizona State University’s Center for Applied Behavioral Health Policy (CABHP) is pleased to announce the inaugural Winter Institute for Public Safety & Behavioral Health Conference will be held Feb 13-15, 2019 at the ASU SkySong Innovation Center in Scottsdale, AZ. The conference brings together Behavioral Health and Public Safety professionals to promote awareness and alliance.

This past summer, we brought together experts from Arizona Public Safety sectors including firefighters, police officers, correctional personnel, crisis teams, and emergency medical responders. In collaboration, we identified a strong need for cross training between departments, in order to establish coordinated community response.

Participants emphasized a need to recognize drug-induced behavioral symptoms and best ways to respond, compassion/work fatigue, trauma-informed response, and how to take a person-centered approach when responding to incidents.

Attendees will earn approximately 17 hours of CEUs. We provide continuing education through NAADAC http://www.naadac.org/ which is typically accepted by most licensing and certification bodies. Please contact cabhp@asu.edu with any questions.
