Baron Director, District of Columbia Department of Mental Health Co-Chair: Shaun Snyder Senior Deputy Director, Addiction Prevention and Recovery Administration, Department of Health

  10. Identified System-Wide Needs in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Key Initiatives for 2012 * Areas with specific accomplishments • Education of health and criminal justice systems. • Collaboration with DOC for release planning. • Expanding the Substantial Compliance Model to adult probation/parole matters. • Collaboration with BOP for release planning. • Resource mapping. • Examining performance based outcomes in treatment and criminal justice standards/outcomes. • Coordinating grant opportunities/Identification of grants. • Integrated co-occurring treatment providers. • Expanding housing options. • Basic information regarding service coordination. • Expansion of Mental Health Community Court to post-adjudication.

  11. Mental Health andSubstance Abuse Education • The Substance Abuse Treatment and Mental Health Services Integration Taskforce’s (SATMHSIT) first annual Conference, “The Intersection of Mental Health Services, Substance Abuse Recovery, and the Criminal Justice System” was held on July 27, 2012. • Educated key stakeholders on current issues, developments, and ways to further collaborate on the substance abuse and mental health issues in the criminal justice system.

  12. DOC Discharge Planning Workgroup • CJCC Discharge Planning Subcommittee to examine further collaboration with DOC in order to better serve our substance abuse and mental health population upon release. • Currently, the group is working to coordinate medication planning for releasees who have mental health and substance abuse issues.

  13. Substantial ComplianceModel for Parolees USPC creation of a special docket for responding to non-compliance of mentally ill non-violent parolees instead of revocation. Total # of dockets held: 11 Total # of warrants issued: 6 # of initial hearings conducted:  19 # of warrants issued for failure to report for MH docket: 2 # of status (re-) hearings conducted:  10 # of warrants issued for failing to comply with case plan: 4 Total # of individuals currently considered substantially compliant: 13

  14. Substantial ComplianceModel for Parolees (cont.) Next Steps: Extend Pilot through April 2013 Phase II (October 2012 – January 2013)         Add 2 additional CSOSA male teams         Add remaining CSOSA female team         Increase to 6-8 cases per docket Phase III (February 2013 – April 2013)         Add remaining CSOSA male teams         Analysis of data collected during Phase I and Phase II

  15. CSOSA/BOP Release Planning CollaborationInformation Sharing Process to Enhance Continuity of Care • CSOSA and the BOP are now working closely together on the transfer of health-related information to facilitate continuity of care and have implemented two strategies to facilitate such transfers.  • BOP is now sending CSOSA mental health and medical information on all DC inmates housed at their Federal Medical Centers (FMCs) that are within 90 days of release. • DC inmates with severe mental health disorders or serious medical problems housed at prison facilities (other than FMCs), CSOSA is now able to request the necessary records from a designated BOP point of contact.  • One potential data sharing solution is the automated transmission of mental health and medical information from the BOP to CSOSA. BOP has formed a multidisciplinary committee to address the technological, privacy, and workforce challenges associated with this option.

  16. CSOSA/PSA/APRA Explore Enhancements to the Client Referral and Intake Process • On August 8, 2012, APRA representatives briefed CSOSA and PSA staff on APRA’s automated client information system, District Automated Treatment Accounting (DATA). • APRA requested that CSOSA and PSA complete various screens in the DATA system prior to referring an individual to APRA. • One of the major advantages of this information sharing process would be the communication of already existing substance abuse and recovery information from CSOSA to APRA before assessment. • Another advantage of this information sharing process would be CSOSA staff being able to track and rapidly determine the participation status of all referrals. • CSOSA and PSA workgroup is recommending that a two-fold strategy be pursed with regards to accessing APRA’s DATA system: • Near term approach involving manual input of relevant client referral data • Long term approach involving linkage of IT systems to automatically import client referral data

  17. Resource Mapping • CJCC developed an online resource locator– a publicly accessible, interactive online resource guide for both criminal justice practitioners and community members. It is slated for release late fall. • The resource locator is designed to enhance access to mental health and substance abuse treatment needs, as well as other social service needs.

  18. Performance-Based Outcomes Workgroup • Creation of the CJCC Performance Based Outcomes Workgroup to examine measures for performance based outcomes for treatment providers and criminal justice agencies. • Currently, a review of current partner agency performance measures is underway.

  19. Grant Coordination • New mechanism established by CJCC to identify and notify the partner agencies of local and federal grant opportunities. • This includes a written grant detail review for the partners. • CJCC will continue these efforts in the upcoming year by expanding its coordination efforts.
