It also discusses the eligibility criteria and services provided by the Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program in New York City, which aims to reduce crime and incarceration, improve behavioral health, and promote recovery and rehabilitation. The presentation introduces the concept of Justice Peers, individuals with lived experience in the criminal justice system who provide support to others in similar situations. It outlines the goals and value of the Justice Peer Initiative (JPI) in transforming the criminal justice system and decriminalizing behavioral health. The document includes data on the demographics and immediate needs of individuals served by the CASES Forensic ACT program.
