Description
The Oregon Criminal Justice Commission will use the funding to support the implementation of a Mental Health Court. The Oregon Criminal Justice Commission will be implementing the plan that was developed with a previous Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program grant. The implementation phase will build on the planning process outcomes. The overall goals of the implementation phase are to improve systems collaboration between community corrections and the mental health systems, address the needs of individuals with mental illness and reduce recidivism, and promote positive outcomes for offenders with mental illness.
