Program Description
The Alabama Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Task Force will develop and implement training for local communities in Alabama that would like to utilize diversion or specialty court programs. The task force will also create an evaluation tool for these jurisdictions to use.
Jan Morris
A multi‐agency approach to create a strategic plan to address the needs of offenders with a mental illness or co‐occurring disorder, especially females. Goals include to develop community awareness through education of mental illness, collaboration of service providers, development of a data driven strategy and to develop a sustainable long term plan to intervene where deemed appropriate.
Ann Meyer
Recovery Connection will expand co‐occurring treatment in the Pima County community. The program will provide intensive 12‐week gender‐specific, trauma‐ informed, co‐occurring treatment to youth in the community. Probation supervision will be individualized for these youth as well. The program will enroll 24 youth per year. The program enrollment will be one‐third female, in order to provide treatment options specifically for females, which is currently lacking in Pima County.
Rachelle Jackson
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will use the FY 2009 Justice and Mental Health Collaboration funding to expand existing in‐jail therapeutic services for offenders with mental illness and/or co‐occurring substance use disorders. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) in collaboration with Special Service for Groups (SSG) is the largest sheriff’s department in the United States responsible for managing and securing approximately 19,000 inmates in eight custody facilities. LASD is proposing to address the high recidivism rate of mentally ill offenders by expanding current mental health and support services available to inmates prior to their transition back to the community. LASD and SSG will also expand services available to available to provide comprehensive comprehensive ja jailil in‐ in reach therapeutic services services and individualized discharge planning to supplement the existing in‐jail services.

This program has a two pronged focus. First, the provision of intensive, transitional case management services to approximately 60 individuals per year who have an Axis I mental health disorder and a history of recidivism within the past 5 years. Case management services will be offered in the initial 60 days of release from jail. Secondly, training to law enforcement, and behavioral health workers will be expanded by a CIT training professional.

The STAR program began in Marin County in 2001 and focused on incarcerated offenders with serious mental illnesses. The program's key components are: small caseloads, team approach, multi‐disciplinary treatment, integrated case management and crisis services, and continuation of care after release. The STAR program will expand its capacity to 1) conduct jail‐based assessment, planning and engagement; 2) initial case management; and 3) integrated substance abuse services. This grant will allow for the expansion of Colorado's 20th Judicial District's Juvenile Integrated Treatment Court (ITC). The ITC aims to integrate substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, intensive family services, supervision, and judicial oversight for juveniles with co‐occurring disorders at most risk of becoming involved further in the juvenile justice system. The program's funds will allow the program to build its capacity from 15 to 30 youth in Boulder and Broomfield Counties.

The new coordinator will work with 40 women post‐release over 2 year period. The Kentucky Administrative Office of the Court will utilize funding to eliminate the duplication, interruption, and fragmentation of the system of care services for youth with mental illness and/or co‐occurring disorders. It will serve a minimum of thirty (30) youth the first year and then up to forty‐five (45) youth in each subsequent year. It will also include the development of a ‘one front door’ entry system for youth to access mental health and substance abuse treatment services, through the Louisville Adolescent Network for Substance Abuse & Co‐Occurring Treatment (LANAcAT) network. The project will also adopt a framework similar to a mental health court or a juvenile drug court to facilitate the coordination of treatment services across the agencies, and to promote the needed accountability for both the youth being served and the agencies providing the services.

SLCJS will use the expansion funding to provide release planning and follow‐up services for offenders with mental illness, substance abuse, or dual diagnosis. The goal of the project is to build upon existing jail diversion and other community‐ based services by implementing a process within its Justice Center to expand services to those incarcerated for municipal charges who are typically released within days of entry. The project will identify and engage individuals and offer services upon re‐ entry to the community, increasing the likelihood of extended engagement in community‐based treatment for mental health and substance abuse. The services will include identification, engagement, release planning, community support, treatment, medication management, and resource linkage as necessary.

To plan a program that will divert offenders with "moderate to severe mental illnesses" into community treatment. Training for law enforcement agents, judges, attorneys and jail staff in the identification of symptoms of mental illness will be provided, with the hope that positive identifications of mental illness will lead to referrals to the Mental Health Court. This project will expand upon an existing initiative in Washtenaw County: JPORT. JPORT is an integrated mental health/substance abuse treatment team that provides treatment at various intercepts from jail diversion to reentry to individuals with mental illnesses or co‐occurring disorders. The new components of the program will be 1) psychiatric assessments in the jail; 2) nursing services that integrate health and trauma services for women leaving the facility; and 3) increased and improved trauma groups for women.

New York City Office will utilize its funding to implement the Bronx Community Solutions Mental Health Initiative. The New York City Office of the Criminal Justice Coordinator and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, in collaboration with mental health agencies in New York City and State and the Center for Court Innovation, will provide hundreds of mentally‐ill misdemeanants and those with co‐occurring disorders with treatment and transitional services. This initiative will test the extent to which a large number of offenders with serious mental health problems can be encouraged to voluntarily seek long‐term services when there is limited legal leverage available to compel them to seek treatment. The project will provide the courts of the Bronx criminal division with the tools to provide 12,000 misdemeanants coming through the court with post‐disposition screening for mental illness. Participants who are identified as having potential mental health issues will receive assessment, counseling, treatment readiness classes, and case management combined with links to services for voluntary engagement.

To address the 5th sequential intercept of community corrections, this program is dedicated to planning and implementing a state wide cross‐training program to address the needs of re‐entering offenders (n=300), probation and parole officers (n=300), and community mental health care providers (n=1200). A steering committee will plan this program which will include screening and referring reentering offenders to community based services, and developing cross‐system training for community corrections staff and community based treatment services.
A task force will develop a project to reduce the number of offenders with mental health concerns. Using the Sequential Intercept Model, the task force will look at existing data to understand the best point of intervention and look towards existing successful programs for direction.

Charleston County will use the FY 2009 Justice and Mental Health Collaboration funding to address the problem of the growing number of individuals with mental illness in the local jail by increasing the number of participants the program has the capacity to serve and improving the quality of services. The Charleston County Mental Health Court (CCMHC) plans to expand screening efforts, increase access to a psychiatrist, expand a contingency management system of rewards for positive behaviors, ensure that the CCMHC team receives appropriate training, increase funding for transportation to treatment and court appointments, and provide more assistance in the areas of emergency housing. With the expanded and enhanced efforts, it is expected that recidivism among participants will be reduced by 65 percent, and the CCMHC will become a model for other jurisdictions in the state.

Andreka Smith
The Community Corrections Program of Davidson County (DCCCP) aims to divert felony offenders from the state prison system. In an effort to expand its current services, and also serve offenders with co‐occurring disorders, the program is collaborating with the Davidson County Drug Court Intensive Out‐Patient Program. The program will expand by adding a community treatment team, medication management, and intensive out‐patient mental health services.
Andrea Richardson
Bluebonnet Trails Mental Health Mental Retardation (MHMR) Center and the 155th Judicial District Court will use the FY 2009 Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Planning funds to build consensus about the development of a pre‐adjudication mental health docket that utilizes telemedicine. Both are emerging as best practices across the country and in the State of Texas. A structured consensus building process called Interest‐Based Negotiation (IBN) will be used to design the plan. Interest‐ Based Negotiation (IBN) is a process in which an impartial third party uses a combination of facilitation, mediation and organizational development methods to assist in constructive resolution problems. The value of this process is that it allows entities with widely varied interests to balance and evaluate those interests to arrive at agreed upon solutions to mutual problems.

Montgomery County plans to research and identify, through community consensus, alternatives to divert consumers from their local jails, decrease the burdens on law enforcement, and humanely serve their MI/COD consumers. The community has not been able to implement the no‐refusal drop‐off site component of the CIT model, and changes to the VA Code after the Virginia Tech tragedy have made alternatives to jail placements critical.

Milwaukee County will use the funding to plan and implement a comprehensive aftercare program for youth with severe emotional disorders and/or co‐occurring substance use disorders who are transitioning from incarceration into the community. The initiative will build upon and expand existing programs and services available to approximately 30 aftercare youth during the grant period. Participants will have access to wraparound clinical, crisis, and other types of support services. In addition, reach‐in services to help plan for aftercare and provide support to identified youth and their families will be provided by community based organizations while the youth are incarcerated. Building upon a previous 2007 JMHCP planning grant, the counties of Racine and Kenosha will be working collaboratively to implement a post‐arrest/pre‐trial diversion program for individuals with mental illnesses in the county jails. Planning for this program will include the development of a comprehensive identification, screening and assessment process, and the development of a protocol for release plan development with the courts. Participants will receive weekly in‐person case management and be required to report to the court frequently. The team will also develop a method for evaluating the program on a long‐term basis.
