In 2026, the Statewide 911 Board will be offering the LevelUp 911 Training Course, Mental Health 911: Identifying and Response to Crisis at no cost to Indiana PSAPs.

This one day class will be offered on two consecutive days in five locations throughout the state.

You will learn how to recognize signs and symptoms of various mental health conditions, including Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and more.

In the afternoon session, our focus will shift inward—to our own mental health as telecommunicators and first responders. We will address the elevated risk of suicide within our profession and discuss how to recognize warning signs in ourselves and our colleagues. The course also covers the symptoms and impact of conditions such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), and other mental health challenges that are common in high-stress roles.

This is a nationally recognized and highly regarded course, known for its relevance, depth, and practical application.

CENTER MANAGER CERTIFICATION PROGRAM


NENA’s Center Manager Certification Program (CMCP) is designed to equip recently-hired, newly-promoted, and aspiring PSAP and 9-1-1 Authority Managers and Supervisors with the tools needed to manage their agency effectively through a rigorous 40-hour course of lecture and lab-based education. For more seasoned 9-1-1 professionals, the CMCP may serve to fill in some of the gaps and strengthen core competencies required in emergency communications center management.

The program serves as an affordable career advancement opportunity to anyone involved in public safety agency management, and provides education in subject areas that are critically important to anyone looking to forge a long and successful career path.
