2nd Annual Justice-Involved Behavioral Health Symposium

This symposium will focus on the psychiatric care of individuals in emergency departments who are under arrest and in police custody. The many agencies involved (e.g., health care, police, courts) are all responsible, to varying degrees, for protecting the mental health of these individuals, as well as protecting public safety. However, clinical and operational decision-making at this critical, delicate, and earliest intersection between the mental health and criminal justice systems is often complex and confusing. 

Learning from expert panelists in the morning session who will provide medical, legal, police and lived experience perspectives, attendees will spend the afternoon session developing model principles and practices that emergency departments may consider in providing equitable, humane, and person-centered psychiatric care to people in police custody.
