Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) officers are on the front lines of some of the most challenging and emotionally demanding calls in law enforcement and emergency services. Responding to mental health crises, conducting welfare checks, and de-escalating high-stress situations day after day takes a significant toll on responders' mental and emotional wellbeing.

This Crisis Intervention Team Officer Wellness Check template is designed specifically for agencies, departments, and organizations that deploy CIT-trained personnel. Regular wellness checks help identify early warning signs of compassion fatigue, burnout, vicarious trauma, and cumulative stress—before they become critical issues.

The form covers key areas including recent call exposure and stress levels, symptoms of de-escalation fatigue, perceived adequacy of training and resources, access to peer support programs, and overall mental health indicators. By collecting this information regularly, supervisors and wellness coordinators can intervene early, connect officers with appropriate resources, and adjust workloads or training as needed.

With Paperform, you can customize this wellness check to match your agency's specific protocols, add conditional logic to route high-risk responses to immediate support resources, and integrate responses directly into your case management or HR systems. You can also use Papersign (papersign.com) to capture consent for follow-up support services or referrals, and Stepper (stepper.io) to automate notifications to wellness coordinators, schedule follow-up check-ins, or trigger resource emails based on responses—ensuring no officer falls through the cracks.

This template is ideal for police departments, sheriff's offices, emergency medical services, crisis response teams, behavioral health mobile units, and any organization that relies on CIT-trained personnel to respond to mental health and crisis situations. Confidential, easy to complete, and actionable—this wellness check supports the people who support our communities.
