Across the country, people in many jurisdictions who frequently
encounter criminal justice, behavioral health, and social service
systems are experiencing behavioral health crises and require
different levels and intensities of services.
The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center and
the MacArthur Foundation Safety and Justice Challenge are hosting
a second webinar session in their Responding to Familiar Faces in
Crisis three-part series. Part two of the series,
Engagement Challenges and Strategies, is scheduled for
Thursday, November 18 from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm.
This session provides an overview of challenges in service and
treatment and strategies on how to effectively serve and increase
engagement with people who frequently cycle in and out of jails,
emergency departments, homeless shelters, and other
community-based settings.
