Congratulations to Tuscaloosa Police Department CIT Program for receiving the 2026 RESPECT Award. This award is given by the Alabama Dept of Mental Health at the annual AIR Conference. The recipients are chosen by a panel of mental health peers. Criteria is a person or organization that shows respect, understanding, support, etc. to the mental health community in Alabama. During the program's 40 hr training there is a module for peers and family members to share their stories. Tuscaloosa CIT has gone above and beyond by including someone with lived experience as a State Trainer who participates in the entire 40 hr training. This program has embraced the unofficial motto of Alabama peers "Nothing about us without us". They do not simply do trainings about mental health peers, they do trainings With peers. Congratulations!!! Well deserved.
