DO YOU KNOW? The Yavapai Justice and Mental Health Coalition values the opportunities that our supporting justice partners, service agencies and individual members offer to our community. We acknowledge the challenges that some people face when struggling with unmet mental health and substance abuse needs and understand that these challenges have the potential for people to intersect with the criminal justice system. We have come together as a coalition because we want our community to know that we have hope. It is our pledge that our holistic, collaborative efforts will provide multiple opportunities for lives to transform; that, together, we are building a foundation for the future and stories of success. We know that collectively we are building a healthy and safe community. OUR STRATEGIC PLAN: -Improve cross-system collaboration to reduce involvement in the justice system by people with behavioral health disorders. -Increase behavioral health access to children, youth, and families within the schools and the juvenile justice system. -Improve the T36 /COE / COT process to better serve the needs of the Yavapai community. -Maintain an understanding of statewide legislation and policies that could affect or contribute to building a healthy and safe community.

Riggs-Yale Conference (virtual) According to the National Institutes of Health, almost 20% of children and young people ages 3-17 in the United States have a #mental, #emotional, developmental, or #behavioral disorder, with #suicidal behaviors among high #school students having risen over 40% in the last 15 years. These trends were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and have had a differential impact on systemically marginalized populations. About half of young children in the USA live in or near #poverty, also a social driver of family mental health. While individual treatment is an important approach to addressing the crisis, community-wide efforts aimed at #systemic intervention and prevention are essential. In this conference we will learn about creative approaches to building community-based partnerships to support at risk families and youth. We will examine the social and structural determinants of health and consider approaches to health equity improvement including how community narratives can build #collaboration. https://lnkd.in/ekJw9kdZ
