National Judicial Task Force to Examine State Courts' Response to Mental Illness
2022 Task Force Findings and Recommendations
In March 2020, the Conference of Chief Justices and Conference of State Court Administrators established the Task Force to assist state courts in their efforts to more effectively respond to the needs of court-involved individuals with serious mental illness.
Led by an Executive Committee, joined by 40 additional judges, court, and behavioral health experts, and funded by the State Justice Institute, the Task Force will spend the next two years developing tools, resources, best practices, and policy recommendations for the state courts.
