Description of Services:

The purpose of the Mental Health Court Support Program is to assist people charged with low-risk criminal offences to access and utilize mental health services and other community based supports. The Mental Health Court Support Program recognizes that some individuals who face criminal charges would be better served by the Mental Health System rather than the Criminal Justice System (CJS). Individuals are diverted out of the regular stream of the CJS, by virtue of their voluntary participation in the program.
