Do you or one of your family members have experience with a mental health crisis? During that crisis, did you or your family member have interactions with law enforcement? No presenting experience is necessary. We will train you. Sharing Your Story with Law Enforcement (SYSLE) is a presentation program that trains peers and families to share their stories with a law enforcement audience, such as during Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training, panels and other events where mental illness, crisis response, or related topics are presented. SYSLE presenters provide an opportunity for law enforcement to hear about the experience of someone who was in crisis and may have interacted with law enforcement as a result, but is now living well with mental illness. This program helps officers understand individual and family perspectives, how it affects them, and what recovery can be like for them, with or without justice system involvement. More information about CIT and STYLE: Share your experience of interacting with law enforcement while your family member was in a mental health crisis Typically a 4-5 people present in a panel for police officers Commitment varies depending on volunteer’s schedule and needs of organization Online training is required. We will send this information to you via email.
