TRAINING EVENTS ARE SPONSORED by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and the Ohio Department of Medicaid. These professional development events are free for Ohio’s System of Care workforce. If you are not a provider supporting Ohio’s System of Care, but are interested in a training, please click here to contact us.
The Center for Innovative Practice (CIP) and the Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (COE), as a training and technical assistance center, has made the decision to utilize a new learning management system to support and enhance all of our training and professional development spaces.
The learning management system selected was the Itacit system. The learning management system, Itacit, provides one centralized electronic hub where our learners can access:
– Our full catalog of training events and training modules
– New asynchronous training offerings
– Live virtual training event registration links
– An individual, personalized user profile of trainings completed by user
– User profile with certificates of attendance and/or CE certificates earned
The new learning management system supports the evolution and modernization of our training center while also improving the experience of our learners and providing learners with enhanced functionality and access to their training records.
We will be working towards full implementation of the new learning management system over the next nine (9) months. We will slowly phase in various training topics and target audiences. At this time, we ask that you create your own personalized itacit user profile.
We have provided a “how to” with screenshots below. If you have any questions or need assistance with the user profile creation process please email us at pxl502@case.edu
To access training you must create your own individual iTacit account at cipcoe.itacit.com.

MRSS Core Training Series
MRSS Core Training Series: Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) Core Model (Day 1), MRSS Crisis De-escalation & Stabilization Services (Day 2), MRSS Safety Planning (Day 3)
Presented by Sarah Becker, LCSW and Amanda Gillespie, LISW-S
Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) is an essential part of Ohio’s crisis continuum of care and is a structured, community-based, in-person intervention and stabilization service for youth and families provided by certified MRSS teams. MRSS provides an effective and accessible alternative to more restrictive services for youth and families, and a hallmark of the service is that youth, families, and other referrers define the crisis. This is a three-day core training series that can be attended in any order.
Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) Core Model (Day 1) focuses on the components of the model along with reviewing the values and principles of MRSS in addition to the three phases of the service.
MRSS Crisis De-escalation & Stabilization Services (Day 2) focuses on crisis de-escalation and stabilization skills and strategies that can be utilized with youth and families in both the mobile response and stabilization phases of the service while also exploring skill building interventions that engage the resiliency and protective factors of youth and families.
MRSS Safety Planning (Day 3) provides an overview of the safety planning process that includes identifying important components of an individualized safety plan and discussing skills and strategies that can be implemented during that process.
