Words to Deeds, partnering with MHSOAC, is presenting the 2nd in
a series of FREE, interactive Webinars highlighting the MHSOAC
Criminal Justice Innovation Incubator Collaboratives. This
Webinar,
Collaborative Problem Solving: Competency to Stand Trial in
Nevada County, will take place on Tuesday, February 9
from 2:00 – 3:30 pm.
Looking at the incompetent to stand trial [IST] population
requires creative thinking about treatment needs as well as
system thinking across agencies and disciplines. Nevada County
formed a workgroup of agency leaders to delve into challenging
policy and practice issues, including ways to add resources or
change practices. This cross-system workgroup met to
analyze those found incompetent to stand trial, the actions that
could be taken locally to better serve this population, and
strategies to reduce incarceration.
Speakers will provide professional perspectives from Behavioral
Health, District Attorney, Probation, Public Defender, and
Sheriff, on a range of topics around competency. For additional
