Mental Health Program
This program provides a Mental
Health Counselor to work exclusively with corrections
offenders. The Community Corrections Mental Health Program is
a unique program in that the Community Corrections Director
maintains program oversight with clinical supervision being
provided by the County Mental Health Director. Close
coordination between the two controlling authorities insures
that only appropriate offenders are referred to the program
and that once an offender is referred they receive the
appropriate required services.
Referred to this program are those high risk offenders who have been ordered to mental health treatment by the releasing authority and those offenders who voluntarily request therapy due to serious mental health issues. The program also provides a limited number of evaluations for inclusion into formal reports to the Court and Parole Board.
