Palmer Coordinated Resources Project - Mental Health Court
The Alaska Palmer Coordinated Resources Project — Mental Health Court (APCRP-MHC) is a court-based diversion program that offers an alternative to traditional criminal justice proceedings for individuals with mental illness. The program is designed to provide comprehensive case management services and community-based treatment to those at risk of recidivism due to mental illness. The goal of APCRP-MHC is to reduce the criminalization of people with mental illness while promoting public safety. APCRP-MHC provides a range of services, including: case management, psychiatric evaluation and treatment, substance abuse assessment and treatment, peer support, housing, employment, and other necessary services. The program is a collaborative effort between the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority, the Alaska Court System, the Alaska Department of Corrections, and community partners. There are three types of Alaska Palmer Coordinated Resources Project — Mental Health Courts: Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau. Each court is staffed by Mental Health Court Coordinators, Probation Officers, and attorneys. The court offers intensive case management, supervision, and comprehensive support services to individuals with mental illness who are at risk of recidivism. The court also provides education and outreach to the community about the needs of people with mental illness and how to best support them.
