2019, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Counselor Education.
Law enforcement officers experience significant effects on their physical and mental health because of their employment. These effects frequently go untreated due to the stigma related to having mental health needs and attending treatment. Often, law enforcement culture perpetuates stigma. Addressing stigma and culture are barriers to treatment engagement frequently left unaddressed. Without understanding this link, even the most effective treatment will be left unattended. Thus,making prioritizing treatment engagement essential for addressing law enforcement officer’s mental health. The current study aimed to increase understanding of how the Crisis Intervention Team training impacted law enforcement officer’s help-seeking behaviors. This training is designed to decrease the stigma of law enforcement officers in working with individuals with mental illness in the community. An Exploratory Single Case Study, Embedded design (SCSED) was utilized to gain an understanding of how participation in one community CIT training affected law enforcement officers’ help-seeking behaviors.The study included 11 participants including LEO training participants, LEO training facilitators, and mental health provider training facilitators. Findings indicated that the CIT program did not influence participant LEO help-seeking behavior. However it did increase their comfort and knowledge in reaching out to their peers regarding their peer's mental health.
