Advisory Committee on Mental Illness<br />

& the <strong>Court</strong>s<br />

In 2008, the Advisory Committee on Mental Illness & the<br />

<strong>Court</strong>s (ACMIC) met quarterly to gather and share information<br />

related to mental health courts, mental health diversion<br />

projects, and services available to courts or individuals with<br />

mental illness who are involved or at risk <strong>of</strong> becoming involved<br />

with the criminal or juvenile justice system. <strong>The</strong> advisory<br />

committee, with its Re-entry Subcommittee, serves as the<br />

Diversion and Re-entry Content Working Group for the fiveyear,<br />

federal Transformation <strong>State</strong> Incentive Grant provided to<br />

<strong>Ohio</strong> by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services<br />

Administration. Among the projects advanced by this group<br />

was the creation and funding <strong>of</strong> a new interagency position<br />

to report to Governor Strickland on issues related to juvenile<br />

justice and mental health.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Re-Entry Subcommittee organized several court-related<br />

workshops for the <strong>Ohio</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Mental Health 2008<br />

Annual Forensic Conference.<br />

ACMIC has six other subcommittees working on specific<br />

projects on a more frequent basis:<br />

• Probation and Treatment Subcommittee: Sponsored<br />

a two-day Advanced Mental Health Probation Officer<br />

workshop in March 2008.<br />

• Legislative Subcommittee: Worked on revising<br />

language related to intervention in lieu <strong>of</strong> conviction<br />

that was submitted to the General Assembly as an<br />

amendment to H.B. 130.<br />

• Juvenile Issues Subcommittee: Met several times<br />

throughout 2008 to create a resource packet on<br />

mental health issues and resources to be shared with<br />

juvenile courts and others.<br />

• Research Subcommittee: Helped coordinate local<br />

public and private college researchers conducting a<br />

comprehensive study on 10 adult mental health courts<br />

in <strong>Ohio</strong>.<br />
