Providing crucial resources and support from experienced court professionals and behavioral health experts.
Intersection of behavioral health & the courts
Many times, managing behavioral health issues requires creativity, new and specialized knowledge, and multi-disciplinary and multi-agency collaboration. Backed by experienced academics and practitioners, we shape many national and state supreme court behavioral health initiatives playing out in local courthouses, treatment facilities, jails and communities today. Many courts are finding success in implementing the recommendations outlined in the SJI-funded National Judicial Task Force to Examine State Courts' Response to Mental Illness final report and recommendations.
