The Council of State Governments Justice Center released a new report called, Mental Health Courts: A Guide to Research-Informed Policy and Practice. This guide summarizes the research on mental health court design, function and efficacy. It examines available studies and translates the findings to help policymakers and practitioners understand their design and function, as well as their success.

This project was conducted by the Council of State Governments Justice Center with support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

I've been working for non-profits as a volunteer or paid staff member for the last 10 years. The primary focus of my work in the non-profit field has been educating the public about sexual assault. I have worked across a range of advocacy-related positions — from volunteering in direct services to coordinating media and legislation at the CALCASA.
