Criminal Justice Services Program

The Criminal Justice Services Program provides support throughout all stages of the criminal justice process—from arrest through probation. Services include early identification, diversion, continuity of care during incarceration, court consultation, discharge planning, outcome monitoring, and mental health training and education.

The program encompasses multiple federally and state-funded initiatives, including the TDMHSAS Criminal Justice Mental Health Liaison Program, Ridgeview Reentry Services, and U.S. Probation Mental Health Services. It also administers Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) programming.

Criminal Justice Mental Health Liaison staff serve seven counties: Anderson, Campbell, Claiborne, Fentress, Roane, Scott, and Union. These staff coordinate mental health and substance use services with the criminal justice system to improve outcomes for individuals with behavioral health conditions and enhance public safety.
