2. Good Afternoon, what a great looking group we have here
Good Afternoon, what a great looking group we have here! My name is Becky Wolery and I am very excited to be here. I appreciate this opportunity to present to all of you about bringing life back to your CIT trainings. I am a licensed head shrink as my colleagues tell me, or other known as a counselor and psychologist. Part of my passion as a counselor is working as an after hour crisis worker and co-chairing our Crisis Intervention Team with my partner in crime right here, Officer Ridg Medford and I’ll let him introduce himself.

3. Hello, my name is Ridg Medford
Hello, my name is Ridg Medford. Yes, my first name is Ridg with no “e” on the end, even though it looks like there should be one. I have been a Police Officer for 15 years with the Ontario Police Dept. in Ontario, Oregon. I have been a certified CIT Officer for 5 years… I think. I co-chair the County CIT steering committee with Dr. Becky Wolery. And I’m excited to be here today and hope you all find something useful from this presentation.

If there is time, pair all participants and have all participate in the activity at the same time. After 3 minutes have them guess what the disorder is and then switch places with their partner so they both have the opportunity to act out a disorder.

9. ....Imagine a party where all the people had a………
………PERSONALITY DISORDERS
Donna danced into the party and immediately became the center of attention. With sweeping gestures of her arms and dramatic displays of emotion, she boasted about her career as an actress in a local theater group. During a private conversation, a friend inquired about the rumors that she was having some difficulties in her marriage. In an outburst of anger, she denied any problems and claimed that her marriage was "as wonderful and charming as ever." Shortly thereafter, while drinking her second martini, she fainted and had to be taken home.
William wandered into the party, but didn't stay long. The "negative forces" in the room were unsettling to his "psychic soul-spot." The few guests he spoke to felt somewhat uneasy being with this aloof "space cadet."
Sherry paraded into the party drunk and continued to drink throughout the night. Laughing and giggling, she flirted with many of the men and to two of them expressed her "deep affection." Twice during the evening she disappeared for almost half an hour, each time with a different man. After a violent argument with one of them, because he took "too long" to get her a drink, she locked herself into the bathroom and attempted to swallow a bottle of aspirin. Her friends encouraged her to go home, but she was afraid to be alone in her apartment.
Winston spent most of the time talking about his trip to Europe, his new Mercedes, and his favorite French restaurants. People seemed bored being around him, but he kept right on talking. When he made a critical remark about how one of the woman was dressed - and hurt her feelings - he could not apologize for his obvious blunder. He tried to talk his way around it, and even seemed to be blaming her for being upset.
Peter arrived at the party exactly on time. He made a point of speaking to every guest for five minutes. He talked mostly about technology and finance, and avoided any inquiries about his feelings or personal life. He left precisely at 10 PM because he had work to do at home.
Before entering, Doreen watched the party for several minutes from outside through the window. Once she went in, she seemed very uncomfortable. When people tried to be nice to her, she looked guarded and distrustful. People quickly became uncomfortable with her habit of finding fault with everything little thing you said or did. She seemed to be picking fights with people. She didn't stay very long at the party.
Margie didn't come to the party, even though she promised the hostess that she would bring the ice. The hostess was very upset that everyone had warm drinks.
Harold wasn't invited to the party. No one really knows him very well because he rarely talks. In fact, he spends most of his time alone at home reading.
Gary arrived a the party alone. Charming and sociable, he carried on conversations with several people, who clearly enjoyed his company. Midway through the party. He sneaks into the host’s bedroom and steals her most expensive jewelry. He rejoins the party and continues to be engaging and charming while feeling nor remorse.

26. “Addicted” to Acting - Improv
Workshops: Psychosis, Addiction, Excited Delirium
Participants: 6-8 volunteers
Explain: Split volunteers in half. One half of the group is a police officer and the other half is an individual high on drug of your choice or experiencing psychosis. The officer must try to de-escalate and maintain safety. This is patterned after “who’s line is it anyway” when one person from each side goes to the center of the room and the director says “Go” after approximately 20 seconds the director yells “Freeze”. Both individuals must Freeze in whatever position they are in and the next person in line on both sides steps into their place in the exact same pose. You then start all over again. When the individuals exit the scene we have them go to the opposite side so they can then practice the other part. We don’t time how long they are in because it is best if you can play it by ear and yell Freeze when one of two things are happening (1) the scene is struggling (2) the scene is amazing. This allows you to keep things moving if the individuals are struggling and it allows you to keep going when they are really acting out or if they get into an interesting position which makes it funny for the next person to have to go into.
