7 out of 10 youth in the justice system have a diagnosable mental health condition, compared to only 2 out of 10 in the general population.
Many policymakers are concerned about youth crime but fail to address the unmet health needs that often play a key role in juvenile justice involvement.
This #YouthJusticeActionMonth, explore the research and data on the connection between the two: hubs.la/Q04yW1XH0

“Crisis response can, and should, look different depending on needs and situations.”
After establishing a 988 system, Washington state worked with us to develop a legislative vision for sustaining and expanding co-response programs that involve different combinations of law enforcement, behavioral health providers, and community responders: hubs.la/Q04xzpRm0
Local leaders across the US are making significant investments in behavioral health services and diversion programs.

CA: Santa Barbara County
CO: Adams County
KS: Shawnee County
NM: Bernalillo County
NV: Clark County & Washoe County
PA: Cumberland County & Northampton County
SC: Horry County
NC: Mecklenburg County & Wake County
FL: Palm Beach County

12 counties have been selected to pilot a new playbook for deciding which behavioral health interventions are best for which people in their court and jail systems.
"By the end of 2027, I hope to see these counties not just implementing evidence-informed interventions but building the data infrastructure to prove what's working and creating a roadmap that counties across the country can follow."

Utah helped lay the groundwork for the national 988 system, but after launching it, most police were still responding to mental health calls alone and failing to identify when a crisis was related to substance use.
We partnered with UT leaders to develop statewide 988 and substance use training for law enforcement.
Check out our training resources:

A good crisis system is only effective if people understand how to use it.
Communities in New Jersey now have multiple ways to respond to behavioral health calls that *don’t* involve the standard police response, but because of problems at the state-level, local first responders don’t always know when to call those teams in.
We partnered with NJ leaders to strengthen clarity and coordination in crisis response.
