Butler County CIT holds Advanced training; Our Black Rose postvention launched locally

Butler County Mental Health/Early Intervention/Intellectual Disabilities Advisory Board · May 21, 2026

Summary

County staff reported the first Advanced Crisis Intervention Team training May 4–5 and the launch of Our Black Rose postvention support with the coroner's office; the board heard plans for ongoing annual training and local distribution of care packages for suicide loss survivors.

Administrator Marni Rettig summarized two related public-safety items. She said Butler County held its first Advanced Crisis Intervention Team training May 4–5 for officers and first responders who previously completed the 40-hour introductory CIT, covering topics from housing insecurity to virtual-reality homelessness exercises. "Butler County CIT plans to offer Advanced CIT Training annually," Rettig said.

Rettig also described the May 1 launch of Our Black Rose in Butler County, a postvention program that prepares care boxes with supportive items and community resources for families after suicide loss; the Butler County Coroner’s Office will distribute packages at the time of loss. Board members acknowledged the partnership and its value to survivors and first responders.
