Mental Health Court (MHC)

The Mental Health Court (MHC) is designed to have both intense accountability and encouragement by a team made up of a Judge, therapeutic court coordinator, prosecutor, defense attorney, case manager, probation officer, treatment agency and law enforcement officers who specifically work with the MHC participants. 

The team works collaboratively to monitor, supervise and guide each participant. Based on their participation, we may be able to provide assistance with stable, clean and sober housing, education, employment, transportation and mental health concerns – they will not be alone in their recovery.
