The Springfield Specialty Court Mental Health Session is a problem-solving court model that offers an alternative to incarceration for defendants with serious mental health issues or co-occurring mental health and substance abuse issues. Participants are required to actively participate in community-based treatment and undergo regular reviews by the Specialty Court.
The program aims to divert offenders with mental illness from incarceration, assist them in maintaining treatment and community support services, reduce repeated criminal activity, enhance communication between the criminal justice and mental health systems, and promote public safety.
