Data <br /> concerning the jail population in Indian River County reflects this trend with at least 45% <br /> of the jail population reporting a mental health disorder and 30% of them receiving <br /> treatment with psychotropic medications. In IRC jails in 2015, there were 1,724 mental <br /> health clinical evaluations and 1,411 mental health orders received; and, a total of 215 <br /> inmates were placed on withdrawal protocol upon entering jail. Many have still not been <br /> properly diagnosed because they refuse to cooperate with mental health staff and, <br /> therefore, cannot be properly assessed. And, in addition to the high occurrence rate of <br /> mental illness, it is estimated that a minimum of 55% of all IRC inmates have a substance <br /> abuse problem. Indian River County, being a smaller community, historically lacked the <br /> necessary collaborative behavioral health and judicial infrastructure to divert individuals <br /> requiring mental health services from entering the criminal justice system. Almost two <br /> years ago, it was determined that a reliably viable solution would be to implement a Mental <br /> Health Court- a system that has been successfully implemented in other counties in <br /> Florida and throughout the United States. The Indian River County Mental Health Court <br /> (IRCMHC) pilot program began in January 2015 and has served a total of 108 individuals <br /> to date, with 81 of them still actively enrolled and 12 graduations. The success rate for <br /> IRCMHC is 44%; with the proposed funding allocation from this grant application, <br /> SEFBHN will work with local provider and stakeholder agencies to increase these <br /> already substantial positive outcomes. <br /> Page 7 of 33 <br />
