State Specific-CT

Jail Diversion/Court Liaison programs provide court-based services to persons with psychiatric and co-occurring (mental illness and substance abuse) disorders who are arrested on minor offenses. The primary function of the program is to facilitate access to appropriate treatment services by providing assessment, referral, and linkage to community mental health services.  Diversion staffs work to maintain individuals in community treatment services, inform court personnel of treatment compliance, and facilitate access to mental health services through contacts within the Department of Correction when an individual is incarcerated
