Infographic on Diverting Youth from Juvenile Justice System

This infographic (from National Center for Mental Health and Juvenile Justice) illustrates approaches communities and schools can use to divert youth with behavioral health needs from the juvenile justice system. Connecticut's School-Based Diversion Initiative (SBDI) is highlighted on page 3 (www.ctsbdi.org). In CT, we are thankful to have such a robust youth mobile crisis intervention service (EMPS) 2-1-1 Connecticut (http://bit.ly/29CFdLU), which functions as a core part of the SBDI model.
