Welcome to the Virginia CIT Coalition Website

The Virginia Crisis Intervention Team (VACIT) Coalition is a collaborative membership group.  Members include individuals interested in learning about or supporting CIT initiatives and representatives from CIT programs throughout Virginia , regardless of whether their local program is in initial stages of development, still working to implement various aspects of the CIT program or a fully operational CIT.   

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of VACIT  is to promote and support the effective development and implementation of CIT programs in Virginia in order to improve the criminal justice and mental health systems and to help prevent inappropriate incarceration of individuals with mental illness.
