Right Person, Right Time, Right Response
Hosted by The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center and Policy Research Associates
In this field-wide virtual discussion, experts from Policy Research Associates (PRA) and the CSG Justice Center will share resources and facilitate a discussion to identify strategies and best practices—with and without law enforcement—for early responses at intercepts 0 and 1. Topics will include collaboration, funding, adjusting response needs, and identifying more appropriate goals of support. Panelists from Athens, GA; Middlesex County, MA; and Pima County, AZ will discuss community-led initiatives and involvement. They will also talk about their experiences gaining buy-in from elected officials to prevent people with mental illnesses and substance use disorders from entering the criminal justice system.
Speakers:
- Regina Huerter, Senior Project Associate, PRA (presenter)
- Lisa Maye, Senior Project Associate, PRA (presenter)
- Julia Kessler, Project Manager, Behavioral Health, CSG Justice Center (facilitator)
