Participants demonstrated proactive strategies to overcome these barriers.
Key facilitators included recognizing the need for CIT, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and engaging mental health advocacy groups.

Conclusions:

Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT) can be successfully implemented in rural communities.
Overcoming barriers requires community buy-in, interagency cooperation, and advocacy.
