Priority consideration will be made for individuals with complex human services needs, which may include, but are not limited to those living with mental health issues, substance use concerns and\/or behavioural dependencies, or neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive disabilities including developmental disabilities and dual diagnosis. The HSJCCs are a cooperative effort of the Ministries of the Attorney General, Children, Community and Social Services, the Solicitor General, and Health.\u00a0<\/p><p>The two primary areas of emphasis for the committees are:<\/p><ul><li>To provide a planning table to bring together service providers to find solutions to the problem of the criminalization of people with the defined unique needs, and;<\/li><li>To develop a model of shared responsibility and accountability in dealing with this group of individuals at points of intersection with the justice system.<\/li><\/ul><p>Regional committees were established to coordinate communication and service integration planning between health, criminal justice, and developmental service organizations within specific regions. Local committees provide input to these regional groups. The Provincial Committee, consisting of regional chairs and Ministry representatives, has been developed as a provincial planning body.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hsjcc.on.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Provincial-Strategy-to-Coordinate-Human-Services-and-Criminal-Justice-Systems-1997.pdf\">Provincial Strategy to Coordinate Human Services and Criminal Justice Systems &#8211; 1997<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e432b73 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e432b73\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a1990d8\" data-id=\"a1990d8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-035206f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"035206f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1227f95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1227f95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><h2 style=\"white-space: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 700;\">The Logo<\/span><\/h2><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d66b592 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d66b592\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/hsjcc.on.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hsjcc-logo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"375\" height=\"130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hsjcc.on.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hsjcc-logo.png 375w, https:\/\/hsjcc.on.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hsjcc-logo-300x104.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/p><p>Originally developed by the Simcoe-Muskoka HSJCC, this logo represents the union of the three divisions of the committees:<\/p><ol><li>Mental Health<\/li><li>Developmental\/Human Services<\/li><li>Justice System.<\/li><\/ol><p>Each colour symbolizes the specific division (green is Mental Health, red is Developmental\/Human Services, and blue is the Justice System).
