FY2023 Planning and Implementation Guide for the Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program
This guide from The Council of State Governments Justice Center is intended to support recipients of Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program grants administered by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance.
