The Clinical Justice Program (CJP), established in 2018, is a collaboration between Centre for Behaviour Health Sciences (Mackenzie Health) and Community Networks of Specialized Care-Central East (CLH Developmental Support Services). This solution-focused Clinical Justice Program supports individuals with a dual diagnosis who are involved in the criminal justice system as a victim, witness or accused to ensure they experience the justice system in an inclusive manner. The CJP encompasses five separate pillars of clinical support. To date qualitative and quantitative data supports the success of this program’s hybrid service delivery.
The participants will learn a collaborative best practice service delivery model of support using case studies and interactive engagement throughout the session. The participants will also be offered the opportunity to download the CNSC-CE Justice App 2.0 and a printable resource sheet that will enhance inclusive access to the justice system for individuals with complex needs.
Presented at the 2023 HSJCC Virtual Conference on November 16, 2023.
