With SEFBHN's unique position as an oversight agency and major funder for the network of local behavioral health agencies, we can assure a comprehensive and consistent continuum of care that implements the best evidence-based practices for all individuals. We will work to best address the overall needs of the clients by coordination across the full spectrum of social services, behavioral and physical health services, case management, housing, education and employment. We emphasize and facilitate effective transitions and warm hand-offs between our provider agencies preventing gaps in services which can derail effective treatment and successful integration or reentry. One of the most significant impediments to our incarcerated population is mental illness and/or co-occurring substance abuse, and the lack of access to social services and treatment for these issues, particularly for individuals facing homelessness and without medical insurance. SEFBHN has the capability to best serve the needs of the criminal justice population who face these challenges by coordinating our extensive network of service providers ensuring the most comprehensive and effective levels of care for this high-risk population. In its commitment to improve services and outcomes for their program participants, the Mental Health Court proposes to use the "Sequential Intercepts for Change Model" which identifies intercept points which reduce the criminalization of persons with Mental Disorders. This model was developed as a collaboration between Summit County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board, and the National GAINS Center for the People with Co-occurring disorders in the Justice System. The various Intercept points are as follows: Page 14 of 33
