Project Director at Community Action for Recovery and Diversion - York, Pennsylvania, United States
The ongoing over-involvement of people with unmet behavioral health needs in the criminal and family justice systems, paired with housing instability and health systems strained by overuse of emergency departments and inpatient psychiatric services has led to a crisis. At its core, CARD is confronting this crisis by leading the development of new ways of working across justice, health, and human services systems. CARD looks to expand the lessons learned during 20+ years of Wellness Court success to increase public safety and achieve better outcomes for the thousands of York Countians with unaddressed or underserved behavioral health concerns.
