MENTAL HEALTH COURT

Mental Health Court is a diversion program based on the philosophy where a centralized mental health program utilizes available community resources and support systems. This then increases the efficiency of the criminal court by creating an environment that is conducive to mental health treatment and wellness, while insuring the safety of the public at large.

The program provides diversion opportunities for offenders identified with mental illness and co-occurring mental disorders, thus allowing the courts treatment options in affording the use of alternatives to prosecution with graduated sanctions. Upon completion of sanctions, the offender’s re-entry into the community will be monitored thus increasing public safety and reducing recidivism.
