The Council of Criminal Justice and Behavioral Health (CCJBH) is
hosting community engagement events throughout the state and
would like to encourage County participation.
Please forward this invite to any networks of stakeholders
and program participants who have lived experience, either
personally or professionally, in the intersection of criminal
justice and behavioral health. The goal of the events is to
gather input related to personal experiences, current needs, and
best practices of programs and policies that work in this
intersection. Download a flyer
that to print and hang in appropriate locations and forward with
the email message.
The Legislature provided CCJBH with on-going funding to award
stakeholder contracts for the purpose of reducing
justice-involvement (incarceration, recidivism, etc.) for
individuals experiencing behavioral health challenges.
Following the spirit of Mental Health Services Act funding, CCJBH
will engage stakeholders and elicit input from diverse
populations including consumers, family members, administrators,
providers and other subject matter experts, especially those with
lived experience, to provide their first-hand perspectives on how
the funding could best serve its intended purposes. The
cumulative results of the stakeholder engagement process will be
documented in a report which will provide the direction for
current and future funding opportunities.
Locations and Dates:Registration links have location details or information can
be accessed from the
CCJBH website.
