GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
 
 
The Rural Mental Health Initiative (RMHI) program is designed to provide comprehensive, coordinated support to individuals with serious mental illness involved in the criminal justice system. The approach integrates both clinical and non-clinical services, aligning closely with evidence-based and research-supported practices in the fields of behavioral health and justice system collaboration. Activities are carefully structured to address participant needs, reduce recidivism, and promote recove1y by leveraging multidisciplinary expe1tise and community resources. 
 
Participant coordination forms the foundation of the program. New referrals are systematically reviewed and screened for eligibility, ensuring that only those who- can benefit from the program are enrolled. The Mental Health Court Liaison conducts or coordinates thorough mental health assessments and compiles relevant clinical documentation. Ongoing monitoring of participant compliance with treatment plans, court orders, and supervision conditions ensures accountability and facilitates early identification of challenges that might impede progress. 
 
Collaboration with the court is a core activity, with the Liaison attending regular court sessions to provide the judge and court team with detailed updates on participant progress. Written and verbal reports are prepared and delivered, supporting informed judicial decision-making. Participation in pre-court staffing meetings with the multidisciplinary team-including the judge, prosecutor, defense counsel, probation officers, and treatment providers-ensures that all stakeholders are aligned and able to respond proactively to participant needs. 
 
The program emphasizes robust communication and liaison duties to maintain continuity of care across systems. The Mental Health Court Liaison acts as the primary point of contact between the court and behavioral health providers, as well as with jails, hospitals, and community agencies. Referrals are facilitated for a wide range of services, including mental health and substance use treatment, housing, and social support services. Tracking participant engagement, documenting sanctions and incentives, and recording incidents or crises are managed using secure electronic records systems. 
 
Case management and crisis- intervention are integral to the service model. Individualized treatment and service plans- are developed and regularly updated to reflect participant progress and changing needs. Case managers maintain detailed, timely documentation in electronic health: records or court databases. In times of crisis, the case manager coordinates with crisis teams, emergency rooms, and law enforcement, and provides immediate support through counseling and de-escalation techniques, all grounded in evidence-based rehabilitative skills training. 
 
Program development and evaluation are ongoing. The team participates in regular meetings to review program outcomes, identify areas for improvement, and contribute to staff and partner training. Data collection and reporting support grant compliance and continuous quality improvement. Additionally, care coordination ensures clients are effectively connected with mental health professionals and community resources, while advocacy activities help clients navigate complex systems such as Medicaid, disability services, and housing authorities. This comprehensive, evidence-based approach positions the company to deliver improved outcomes for participants and stakeholders alike.
