These 15 learning sites are agencies across the country that have excelled in working with their behavioral health partners to improve outcomes for people with mental health needs, co-occurring substance use needs, and experiencing homelessness. Each learning site brings a wealth of expertise in using technology to connect officers with clinicians when they are on the scene with a person in crisis, implementing rapid mobile crisis responses, providing mental health training for officers, and more.
Criminal Justice-Mental Health Learning Sites
The Criminal Justice-Mental Health Learning Sites Program includes a select set of 10 communities from across the country who are using innovative practices to improve outcomes for people with behavioral health needs in the criminal justice system. These programs provide peer-to-peer learning and mentoring opportunities to programs nationwide. They are helping to “move the needle” with programming and interventions that span the criminal justice system, including with court-based, jail-based, reentry, and probation models. The following learning sites were selected by the CSG Justice Center and BJA to share their expertise and knowledge with other criminal justice and mental health agencies and organizations.
