The Center for Alternative Sentencing & Employment Services (CASES) is pleased to announce the 101 introduction to the NYC Criminal Justice System. With funding from the NYC Office of the Criminal Justice Coordinator, this training is offered to de-mystify this complex system and help providers learn where they can most effectively advocate for their consumers.
This is a free, all day training intended for case managers, ACT, day treatment, clinic, shelter and supportive housing staff working with the mentally ill population. The training follows the process from arrest through conviction showing the various places where there is room for interventions. Various alternatives to incarceration (ATI), diversion, mental health court and re-entry programs are reviewed as well as discharge planning services and consumer perspectives.
The training will be offered on two separate dates and has been scheduled as follows:
Dates: July 29 and July 31, 2008
