Mental Health Courts are specialized court programs designed to address the needs of individuals with mental health issues who are involved in the criminal justice system. These courts aim to provide treatment and support rather than traditional punitive measures, recognizing that mental health conditions can significantly impact behavior and decision-making. Participants in Mental Health Courts often receive access to mental health services, counseling, and rehabilitation programs. The goal is to reduce recidivism and improve overall well-being by helping individuals manage their conditions and reintegrate into society, ultimately promoting public safety and better health outcomes.
