Check out today’s partner for this year’s #WeHealUS May Mental Health and Trauma Awareness Campaign - Insightful Critical Response. Insightful Crisis Response, LLC is an Illinois-based law enforcement training company that opened in January 2022 with the following mission: Provide high quality training to as many officers as possible, empowering them to recognize the signs of mental illness and resolve crisis situations more effectively. IRC’s founder Troy Siewert, remembers the pressure to successfully resolve these calls despite receiving very little, if any, training in mental health awareness or crisis response. And he can still feel the frustration of believing the only resolution options to these calls are arrest, hospital transport, or walking away – none of which seem to stop the repeat calls for service.
