Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program Applicants

On January 24, 2013, the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) released Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program (JMHCP) grant applications. On February 19, 2013, the Council of State Governments Justice Center (CSG Justice Center) hosted a webinar to assist grant applicants with the application process. In this webinar, BJA representatives provided an overview of this year’s JMHCP grants, discussed eligibility and application materials, and led a question-and-answer session.

The JMHCP grant program is designed to increase public safety and improve access to effective treatment for people with mental illnesses who are involved with the criminal justice system by facilitating collaboration among the criminal justice, juvenile justice, mental health treatment, and substance abuse systems. Each grantee is given the opportunity to tailor their programming to respond best to the particular needs of their community.
