This paper discusses an intervention method that was presented to develop joint police-mental health programs with seven suburban police departments. A seminar on family crisis intervention was instituted. The program method and goals are described and the result of numerous new requests by police for mental health consultation are discussed. Results suggest that a training approach different from urban programs is needed and wanted by suburban police. The initiative for developing such programs clearly falls on the shoulders of community mental health practitioners.
本文讨论了一种干预方法,该方法旨在与七个郊区警察部门共同开展警察-心理健康项目。举办了一场关于家庭危机干预的研讨会。描述了该项目的方法和目标,并讨论了警察提出的大量新的心理健康咨询请求的结果。结果表明,郊区警察需要并希望采用一种不同于城市项目的培训方法。开展此类项目的主动权显然落在社区心理健康从业者的肩上。
