TRANSINSTITUTIONALIZATION
6
Olmstead 527 U.S. 581 (1999) Under ADA Title II, states are required to provide community based MH treatment when recommended and if placement can be reasonably accommodated

DSM-IV Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition Still will see in reports for some time as we transition to DSM-5 Multi-axial review

DSM-IV Axis I- clinical disorders; mental illness(i.e psychotic disorders-schizophrenia and mood disorders- bipolar disorder) and substance related disorders Axis II-personality disorders(i.e antisocial/obsessive compulsive) and developmental disability (MR) Axis III- general medical issues (diabetes; hypertension; HIV)
9
DSM-IV Axis IV- psychosocial and environmental factors(i.e. homelessness; death of spouse)(neither legal nor medical but impacts outcomes with criminal justice population) Axis V- Global Assessment of Functioning
10
DSM-5 Fifth Edition Combines first three Axes into one list; Contributing psychosocial and environmental factors can be coded with disorders; Separate measures of symptom severity and disability
11

New Business ?
15
Or Old Business? “They have been here Mr. Mulder” ( you deal with the same folks anyway)
16
JAILED WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES Homeless Practically homeless-worn out welcome Housing, economic and lifestyle instability- lack of Rx regimen History of trauma: sexual, domestic violence
17
JAILED WITH MH ISSUES Possible security issues: decompensated, combative with jailers Increased suicide risks Other poorly managed chronic medical issues (HIV,diabetes, hypertension)
18
Jail: Treatment Disruption Decompensated on entry Formulary only: side effects Loss SSI Rx Gap: Leave jail until Dr. appt.

21
Key Component #6- Develop a coordinated strategy Community mapping- where are our challenges vs. resources? “Hon” meeting- they will come Where can you build allies? You become a pivot point in the community discussion.
22
Who to Call? (Who has “skin in the game”?) State Hospital Director for your area Local MH/Addictive Disease clinic director Local ER/medical community Local shelters that work with homeless population Sheriff/Jail Director Local Advocacy/NAMI
23
Intercept 1- Field/Police
24
Crisis Intervention Training- CIT Evidence Based Practice 2719 programs nationally in 45 states Developed by Memphis Police Department www.Cit.Memphis.edu
25
CIT Reduce use of force situations Reduce workers comp claims Raise awareness in law enforcement- it is what they deal with daily Change the culture in your jail
26
CIT Officers Most officers that go through the training feel it is very worthwhile Intercept 1- Not a lot of judge time required www.nami.org http://www.namioklahoma.org/ http://ok.gov/odmhsas
27
Intercept 2- Diversion
28
Jail Diversion http://gainscenter.samhsa.gov/topical_r esources/jail.asp Pre-booking vs. Post-booking Got to have a location Meet with community mental health director and local hospital administrator- EC issues/Crisis Unit
29
Intercept 3- Courts

32
Intercept 4- Re-Entry
33
Re-Entry Programs A natural fit with a specialty docket Some of best outcomes because high utilizers of services 90-95% inmates return home at some point 4.9 million on probation/parole Do not wait for the next bad outcome
34
CSG National Reentry Resource Center http://csgjusticecenter.org/nrrc http://csgjusticecenter.org/nrrc
35
Intercept 5- Community Corrections
36
Probation/Parole Ready source of referrals Many of their revocations have roots in unresolved MH/SA issues A natural tie to intercepts 1, 3 & 4 Part of a multi-discipline approach
37
DEFINING A “WIN” Do not expect perfection-crisis frequency reduction is a win Episodic crisis events It is an illness –manage not cure Do not cherry pick- lawyer settling too many cases
38
Key Component # 3: Eligible participants are identified early Screenings Assessments- possibly ongoing once fog clears Criminogenic Risks/Needs

Risk-Need-Responsivity Model as a Guide to Best Practices RISK PRINCIPLE: Match the intensity of individual’s intervention to their risk of reoffending NEEDS PRINCIPLE: Target criminogenic needs, such as antisocial behavior, substance abuse, antisocial attitudes, and criminogenic peers RESPONSIVITY PRINCIPLE: Tailor the intervention to the learning style, motivation, culture, demographics, and abilities of the offender. Address the issues that affect responsivity (e.g., mental illnesses) COUNCIL OF STATE GOVERNMENTS JUSTICE CENTER 42
