What does C.H.A.T.S. stand for?

Connecting Hamilton County And Tacking Stigma.

What is the idea behind creating de-escalation spaces in the community?

Whole health encompasses all of the Dimensions of Wellness. When communities are equipped with the skills they need, they become more engaged to care for one another.  As we begin working as a holistic structure instead of systemic silos, connection is built.  Connection builds wellness, and whole communities benefit.  Equipping our community with skills to heal from within will rebuild connection and decrease crisis situations.

What trainings are involved?

Question Persuade Refer Suicide Prevention, the Columbia Scale, Physical and Medical Processes in Crises, Interpersonal Violence, Human Trafficking, Mandatory Reporting, Medications, the Recovery Community, Emergency Protocols, and Level of Care.
