1. You will recall that in Chapter 5 of the James and Gilliland
text, the authors described a crisis intervention team (CIT)
approach to dealing with crises of the mentally ill, many of
whom are homeless or have entered unstable living situations
since the Community Mental Health Act of 1963. The act
brought changes that released many mentally ill people back
into the community. Analyze the tools and resources that a CIT
