EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the after-the-fact submittal of the Justice and Mental Health
Collaboration Program grant application and Memorandum of Understanding in the
amount of $250,000 to the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice
Assistance and, if awarded, to serve as the Fiscal Agent and to authorize staff to negotiate a
sub-recipient agreement with the Collier County Sheriff's Office and the David Lawrence
Center,
OBJECTIVE: To approve the application for a Justice and Mental Health Collaboration
Program grant from the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance to
expand the existing Mental Health Court in Collier County. This project has a timeframe of
three years. The scope of the proposed work includes planning and implementing a referral
process, increasing communication and streamlining data collection and program evaluation to
demonstrate successful interface between the criminal justice and mental health systems.
('
CONSIDERATIONS:
The Housing and Human Services Department learned of this grant opportunity and approached
the local community mental health partners to form a group to determine if this project was
feasible, This Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program will increase public safety by
facilitating collaboration among the criminal justice, mental health and substance abuse
treatment systems to increase access to mental health and other treatment services for system-
involved individuals with mental illness. It will provide existing mental health courts with
various treatment options; maximize diversion opportunities for non-violent offenders with
mental illness and co-occurring disorders; promote training for justice and treatment
professionals on criminal justice processes and mental health substance abuse issues; and will
facilitate communications, collaboration and the delivery of support services among justice
professionals, mental health professional and governmental partners.
This is a collaborative grant through the United States Department of Justice that requires a
commitment from Collier County Government, which would serve as the fiscal entity for the
project and the following partners:
The 20th Judicial Circuit Court, which administers the Mental Health Court program will divert
individuals with a mental illness to mental health court where they can begin treatment
associated with the mental illness instead of incarceration or punishment.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) will work towards the goal
of having 240 law enforcement officers trained to interact with persons with mental illness. This
training will allow officers to develop a more understandable approach to mental crisis events
and provide appropriate diversion and referral to Mental Health Court.
The David Lawrence Center will provide mental health court eligibility screenings and case
management services to individuals referred to and accepted into the program.

.~ Additional partners will include the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Collier
County. NAMI will continue to coordinate and conduct future trainings for CIT officers on a
quarterly basis. The Mental Health Association of Southwest Florida will provide support and
training services to individuals and families to reintegrate into the workplace and community.
If awarded, the grant acceptance agreement and sub-recipient agreements will be brought back to
the Board of County Commissioners for approval. Sub-recipient agreements will only be entered
into with the Collier County Sheriffs Office and the David Lawrence Center as these will be the
only entities to receive direct grant funding from the County. As Fiscal Entity for the grant,
Collier County will be responsible for ensuring compliance with the programmatic and financial
reporting requirements of the Bureau of Justice Assistance and will be required to assume a level
of monitoring responsibility to ensure the sub-recipients are in compliance with all grant
requirements. If the requirements are not met, Collier County will be responsible for carrying
out the program, will be required to return the grant or will be subject to other requirements set
forth by the Bureau of Justice Programs.
This grant application was due to be electronically submitted into the Grants.gov portal by May
6, 2008. Because this was a collaborative effort with many partners, it took several weeks to
coordinate all of the components of the grant and therefore was not complete until after the
Novus agenda submission deadline. Therefore it was necessary to request review and approval of
the application package by the County Manager to be followed by after-the-fact approval of the
Board of County Commissioners.
/""--
Collier County's Office of the County Manager Administrative Procedure CMA #5330
authorizes the County Manager to approve the submittal of grant applications with subsequent
Board of County Commissioners action at the next available Board meeting to ratifY the approval
as "after-the- fact."
FISCAL IMPACT: Serving as the fiscal entity for the administration of this project will
require County staff involvement. The grant also requires a county match for two years of the
three year project. The match will be in the fonn of in-kind match and will be reported as staff
time committed to administering the grant. The value of this time will be $2,496 over two years.
The County is not required to match funds for the third year. There will be no cash match from
the County general fund allocated toward this project.
The Collier County Sheriffs Office will match their portion with funds from the Confiscated
Trust Fund, Federal Equitable Sharing fund and general operating funds for cash match. The
David Lawrence Center will donate the services of a mental health outreach coordinator as an in-
kind match.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact due to this
request.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This request is internally consistent, complies with all
applicable laws and has been approved as to form and legal sufficiency by the Office of the
(' Attorney. - JW

GRANT PROPOSAL PROGRAM ABSTRACT
PROGRAM ABSTRACT
Collier County Government, In collaboration with Collier County Sheriffs Office, David
Lawrence Center, Twentieth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, National Alliance of Mental
Illness and the Mental Health Association of Southwest Florida submit a Planning and
Implementation grant application for the Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program. The
scope of the proposed work includes planning and implementing a referral process, increased
communication and streamlined data collection and program evaluation to demonstrate
successful interface between the criminal justice and mental health systems. An expanded Crisis
Intervention Team program will provide the necessary referrals for both Mental Health Court
and diversion to mental health and substance abuse services using Law Enforcement-based
diversion strategies. In addition, a Mental Health Court Outreach Specialist will provide
eligibility screenings and case management services to individuals in the program. As more
individuals with a mental illness are diverted from incarceration, they will receive the necessary
treatment and supportive services for their illness. Collier County is requesting funding in the
amount of $250,000 for the above mentioned activities to successfully and effectively address
the following problems and needs identified in our community,

S1' A TEMENT OF PROBLEM
Grant funds are needed to provide resourccs for further in-depth planning and
implementation of evidence based practices that will demonstrate the successful interface
between the criminal justice and mental health systems.
According to the 2006 U,S. Census Bureau data, Collier County, located in Southwest
Florida, has a population of 314,649, Of that population, the gender mix of the population is
50.80% male and 49.2% female and approximately 25.2% of the Collier County population is of
Hispanic or Latino origin. With the local unemployment rate having increased by 2% and the
number of foreclosures having increased by 1,331 in the past year, resulting conditions such as a
downturn in a person's financial situation can often affect a diminished capacity for coping with
ordinary demands of life. Some crimes in Collier County have risen in the past year (non-violent
crimes up 50%, violent crimes up 15%, and domestic violence up 6%), The National Alliance
for the Mentally III estimates 40% of adults with severe and persistent mental illness ",~Il come
into contact with the criminal justice system at some point in their lives, Among inmates that are
incarcerated who suffer from a mental disorder, 72 percent also have a co-occurring substance
abuse disorder. Subsequently, according to the U,S. Dcpaliment of Justice, in 1998, nearly
284,000 prisoners - Sixteen (16) percent of State prisoners and local jail inmates and seven (7)
percent of Federal inmates has a mental illness (Ditton, 1999), In support of this proposal for
Federal funding, Florida ranks 42nd in per capita Medicaid spending and 47th in per capita mental
health spending (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2005); therefore supporting the need for grant

funding in support of the Collier County Mental Health Court program, Incarcerated adults with
a mental illness are not getting the services they need and are taxing the criminal justice system.
According to the National GAINS Center, Ll million people are diagnosed with serious
mental illnesses, are arrested and put in jail annually. Furthermore, 72% of those individuals
meet criteria for co-occurring substance disorders, The philosophy and one of the goals of the
Mental Health Court Team is to provide coordinated treatment for both mental illness and
substance abuse problems,
The target population scrved in the proposcd Collicr County Mcntal Health Court
program will be incarcerated adult, male and female individuals who are suffering from a mental
illness. Individuals of all races and cthnicity will be included in persons served. Participants
will be identified based on the following eligibility criteria: individuals arrested for a
misdemeanor charge or acceptable felony charge as determined on a case by case basis who
suffer from a primary diagnosis of a psychotic, mood or impulse control disorder. Incarceration
of individuals suffering from mental illness often leads to worsening of illness symptoms and
increased stress leading to extended incarceration; thus increasing the need for referrals to mental
health services and diversion initiatives, Mental Health Court offers alternatives to incarceration,
improved acccss to services and reduccd rccidivism rates, The program is projected to serve
approximately seventy five individuals: twenty (year 1), twenty-five (year 2), thirty (year 3),
National estimates are that 16% of any jail population is mcntally ilL In Collier County
Florida, on a daily basis, there are approximately 1,200 jail inmates, Based on the 16%
projection, there are around 192 inmates within the Collier County Correction system with
mental illness, On a daily basis Law Enforccment and correctional officers in Collier County

!' number of officers who have training in signs and symptoms of mental illness, de-escalation
techniques, and knowledge of community services for early diversion. Trained officers are
needed to respond to crisis calls that present officers face-to-face with complex issues relating to
mental illness, In support of the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program, there is a lack of
training funds needed to increase the number of Collier County Florida criminal justice
personnel trained in and using Law Enforcement-based diversion strategies. Law Enforcement
officers need to be provided with the best quality training available to be part of a specialized
team which can respond to a crisis at any time, The Collier County Sheriff s Office (CCSO) has
sought to provide CIT training to Law Enforcement officers. In-house training is necessary to
educate an adequate number of officers to serve as CIT members in order to provide 24-hour,
seven days a week coverage in response to persons with mcntal illness in crisis,
~
When both the Collier County Mental Health Court and Crisis Intervention Team were
originally established, there was input from Judges, the States Attorney Office, the Public
Defenders Office, Private Attorneys, Probation, Court Administration, Clerk of the Courts,
Collier County Sheriffs Office, and local community mental health providers, However, each
program functions independently and there is no clear method to refer or track participants in the
program, There is a need to have existing agencies coordinate and collaborate together to
accomplish our mission, The planning portion of the grant funding would assist our
collaborative efforts and enhanced stratcgies for interagency coordination and communication.
expansion of the program to help save money by diverting the individuals with a mental illncss

instead of incarceration and punishment. Mental Health Court is better prepared to assist the
individuals and their illness by a coordinated effort of the Mental Health Court Team getting

them stabilized on medications, finding housing, a job, and following their treatment plan with
the court and staff's supervision, The participants receive many benefits from participation in the
Mental Health Court in that they have more frequent contact from their case managers and
receive a face to face positive interaction with the Judge on a bi-weekly court appearance
reinforcing their progress, Mental Health Court is more service oriented and is better equipped
in dealing with the complex issues of their illness which might not be addressed in another court.
As community partners, we envision success as we grow and help the individuals get the needed
treatment.
II: PROJECT DESIGN
Plannine
Mental Health Court and CIT training have bcen discussed in the Collier County Public
Safety Council which is a collective group of government ofticials with a purpose to develop
strategies to divert population from the jail. A subcommittee reviewed CIT training progran1s
and planned the process for implementation in Collier County, Local interested citizens
participated in the planning sessions and identified a community need for CIT and Mental Health
Court, During the past year, minimal funding became available through the Florida Department
of Children and Families which was used initiate Mental Health Court in support of this
community driven program,
The early identification of individuals appropriate for Mental Health Court would be
increased by having CCSO Officers trained in recognizing those in need of crisis intervention.
Law enforcement officers are the first responders to a situation, and with the proper training,
could assist in resolving each situation in a manner that shows concern for the individuals well-
being. The goal is to have the CCSO Officers trained in the knowledge of the referral process to
Page 4 of20
Agenda Item No. 1602
May 27, 2008
Page 24 of 59
(""'. the Collier County Mental Health Court. This would be accomplished by a collaborative effort
with the involvement of a member of the Mental Health Court team in the training process of the
CCSO Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training program.
Working with the CCSO and the David Lawrence Center(the community mental health
provider) in increasing the number of referrals would be a win-win situation for everyone
involved, in that knowing about the Collier County Mental Health Court as an alternative could
help the officer in deciding which action to take that would be appropriate for the individual.
Grant funds would allow for the continued training of the first response officers in recognizing
mental health issues of an individual and the knowledge of the referral process of available
programs in the community to benefit them,
The CCSO Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program is a community partnership program
~. working with mental health consumers and family members. This is done by establishing
1
individual responsibility for each event and the overall accountability for results. With respect to
treatment of individuals with mental illness, the CCSO's goal is to set a standard of excellence
by having 240 officers trained in specialized crisis intervention, Untrained officers will be
provided with the best quality training available, and they will be part of CIT to resolve each
situation in a manner that shows concern for the individual's wcll being. The 240 CIT officers
will have participated in specialized training under the instructional supervision of mental health
providers, family advocates, and mental health consumer groups, Training will result in the CIT
officers having a more humane and calm approach when faced with complex issues relating to
mental health,
The crT will be an organized and trained special unit for the purpose of developing a
more intelligent, understandable, and safe approach to mental crisis events. The CrT officers
r-
Page 5 of20
Agenda Item No, 1602
May 27, 2008
Page 25 of 59
will also perform their regular duty assignments, The CIT program will offer: trained officers to
respond immediately to crisis calls; ongoing training of CIT officers; and the establishment of
partnerships, including but not limited to, Law Enforcement, National Alliance for the Mentally
III (NAMr), David Lawrence Centcr (mental health provider/counselors), the Courts, and other
community organizations. Law Enforcement and the community will join together for common
goals of safety, understanding, and service to the mentally ill and their families, The CrT
program will provide an opportunity for the development of additional community partnerships
and the collaboration of working together for community interest of service and care. The CCSO
recognizes the mentally ill as a special population that deserves special care, treatment, and
service, An increase in the "deinstitutionalization" of mentally ill citizens has caused many to
become homeless and potentially more violent which increases thc chances of involvement with
Law Enforcement The possibility for excessive force complaints and the inevitable backlash
from the community increases. Traditional Law Enforcement methods, misinformation, and a
lack of sensitivity cause fear and frustration for consumers and their families, Sometimes
officers respond to crisis calls where they feel at a disadvantage or are placed in a no-win
situation, As a proactive Law Enforcement agency, CCSO's cn will be committed to the
prevention of tragic situations and to find "win-win" solutions for all persons concerned.
A response to mcntally ill crisis evcnts must be immediate, An "immediate response" is
preferable to that of specialized mental health workers on call or a mobile crisis van response.
By offering an immediate humane and calm approach, crr officers will reduce the likelihood of
physical confrontations and enhance individualized care, The cn program will result in the
necessary adjustment that Law Enforcement must make from traditional Law Enforcement
responses to a more compassionate treatment of individuals with mental illness,

/'
The project design will include the standardized formats from the Memphis Police
Department Crisis Intervention Team Model and the Florida Crisis Intervention Team Coalition
Models. With grant funding, a 40 hour course will provide training for 240 Law Enforcement
officers in signs and symptoms of mental illness, medications, de-escalation, and diversion.
Training will include presentations from several community providers, such as NAMI, the David
Lawrence Center, St. Matthews House (homeless shelter), and others, as well as, interactions
with persons with mental illness and their family members. A key component of the training
will be role play exercises designed to provide actual hands on experience in a simulated
environment.
With limited funding and financial resources, the Collier County Mental Health Court
program was pioneered within the past year with only a minimal capacity, At that time a Mental
,--,
Health Court team was formed and included representation from Judges, the States Attorney
Office, the Public Defenders Office, Probation, Court Administration, Clerk of the Courts, and
David Lawrence Center, the Community Mental Health Center. This team will continue to direct
planning and implementation of the expanded Collier County Mental Health Court program.
The Mental Health Court professionals \vill be responsible for the following:
I) Needs and resource assessment to identify community needs for Mental Health Court and
diversion programs,
2) Ongoing assessment of financial and community resources available for Mental Health
Court and diversion programs,
3) Improved local continuum of interactions and services of the mental health and criminal
justice systems,
4) Enhanced strategies for interagency coordination and communication,
('

5) Participation in local and statewide policy development relating to Mental Health Court
and diversion programming,
6) Ongoing development of the sustainability plan to assure ongoing Mental Health Court
programmmg,
The Sequential Intercept Model (Munetz, Griffin, Psychiatric Series, April 2006) will be
utilized as the framework to identify where to intercept individuals with mental illness as they
move through the criminal justice system, Each level of sequential intercept will be addressed as
part of the planning to develop strategies to address systemic barriers.
Implementation
Mentally ill offenders often spend unnecessary time in jail, lack access to mental health
treatment services, and often become repeat offenders and cyele through the justice system again
and again, The Collicr County Mental Health Court program represents an effort to identify and
address the unique needs of the mentally ill offender. TIle program represents a partnership
between the criminal justice system and the mental health treatment system, with the purpose of
faster case processing time, improved access to public and private mental health and substance
abuse treatment services, improved well-being, and reduced recidivism for incarceration,
Another important outcome to be achieved by this program for the larger community is the
improved public safety,
The major goal of the Collier County Mental Health Court Program is to address the
individual's mental health issues by refening him/her 10 the appropriate treatment services in
order for the individual to obtain and maintain stability with the long term goal being that the
individual does not re-offend, The presence of a mental illness and symptom evidence of the
illness should not result in unnecessary an'est or incarceration. As supported by "Use of the

Sequential Intercept Model as an Approach to Decriminalization of People with Serious Mental
Illness" (Munetz, Griffin, Psychiatric Series, April 2006) individuals with mental illness who
commit crimes with criminal intent that are unrelated to symptomatic mental illness should be
held accountable as anyone else. However individuals should not be arrested or incarcerated due
to lack of or inaccessible mental health treatment. The collaborative partners of the Collier
County Mental Health Court Program embrace this philosophy and related concepts and are
therefore committed to the planning, implementation and success of this program.
Using the Sequential Intercept Model as a foundation, the levels/opportunities of
intervention will take place as follows with the Mental Health Court Team: initial contact will
be made with the CCSO who will respond immediately to crisis calls and identify if a participant
has a mental health related issue and will determine if no action is necessary, diversion is

indicated or an arrest made, If diversion is indicated, Law Enforcement will either refer to a
Baker Act or mental health facility, If an arrest is made, law enforcement works with mental
health advocates, participants and family members to resolve the situation. Law enforcement
then makes a referral to Mental Health Court, The purpose of the Justice and Mental Health
Collaboration Prob'Tam focuses on early identification and intervention in an effort to divert
individuals from entering or going deeper into the criminal justice system. The David Lawrence
Center connects individuals with mental health and co-occurring disorders to comprehensive and
individualized treatment supports and services in the community, The Center offers a continuum
of assertive outreach to increase support and linkages to services through case management,
Florida Assertive Community Treatment (FACT), day treatment programs, housing, financial
assistance, prescription assistance programs, counseling, psychosocial rehabilitative services,
supported employment services, food and clothing.

Expected outcomes of the program include:
1) Provide screening, assessment and linkages to community based mental health scrvices
for individuals who have mental illness or co-occurring disorders that are diverted from
the criminal justice system,.
2) Application of evidenced based practices relating to integrated treatment for Co-
Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders; Supported Employment, and
mness Self-Management and recovery based treatment,
3) Enhanced interagency collaboration among CCSO, Collier County Courts and the David
Lawrence Center,
4) Participation in policy analysis and development activities at the local level to promote
implementation, utilization and sustainability of the Collier County Mental Health Court
program,
5) Treatment and service goals that offer alternatives to incarceration, obtain mental health
services through improved access, increase well being and promote independence and
reduce recidivism,
The CCSO, Collier County Court and the David Lav.Tence Center will each share
responsibility in the implementation of the Collier County Mental Health Court program,
One Mental Health Court Outreach Specialist will be allocated to the program that will
provide Mental Health Court eligibility screenings and Case Management services to individuals
referred to and accepted into the program. To ensure all participants are screened, assessed and
accurate referrals made, the David Lav.Tence Center will identify potential participants as early
as possible and encourage referrals through speaking engagements, news articles, media,

with the potential participant for an eligibility screening to determine appropriateness for Mental
Health Court If deemed appropriate and willing to participate, the David Lawrence Center will
obtain past mental health records and make collateral contact with past or current mental health
providers, if such records are available. If records are not available, the Center will conduct a
mental health evaluation. Upon review of past mental health records or completion of
assessment, if indicated, recommendation is forwarded to the State Attorney's Office for
approval. If specified, utilizing clinical best practices methodology, a comprehensive needs
based clinical assessment is conducted. The assessment addresses psychosocial aspects, makes
clinical recommendations and determines if individuals meet clinical criteria for Mental Health
Court Participants must have a mental health diagnosis in order to be eligible. The philosophy
I~'"
and one of the goals of the Mental Health Court Team is to provide coordinated treatment for
both mental illness and substance abuse problems, which statistically co-occur as noted
previously.
Once the asscssment process is completed, individuals are linked with appropriate mental
health providers. An Individual Intervention Plan is developed specifically tailored to individuals
needs in accordance with available rcsources existing in our community to address those needs
and problems,
Mental Health Court will be held on a weekly basis and participants will be attending
weekly once they first begin in order to maintain contact and to observe if the participant is
making progress. A referral can be made when anyone (law enforcement, court system,
treatment services in the jail, private attorneys, family members or friends) suspects the
individual who has been arrested might suffer from a mental illness. An Individual Intervention

Plan will be developed for individuals accepted into the Collier County Mental Health Court
Program, The Intervention Plan includes goals and objectives that are clearly designed to assist
the participant in achieving and maintaining stability, reduce the severity and intensity of factors
associated with the progression of the mental illness and the effects that it has had on the
individual and their family members and to encourage the participant not to re-offend.
The Mental Health Court Outreach Specialist will provide case management services by
linking the participant with the appropriate services as identified in the Intervention Plan,
monitoring participant's progress and report to the court on a consistent basis. Case management
activities include: ongoing assessment and monitoring of participant's condition and progress:
linking and coordinating services as dictated by participant's needs; follow-up on all referrals for
other services; advocacy on behalf of persons served; and facilitating individual's participation in
treatment by removing possible barriers, In addition, the Outreach Specialist will assure weekly
staff meetings are held with the identified Mental Health Court team and on an as needed basis to
discuss the participant's progress,
Collier County Mental Health Court will be closely affiliated with other specialty or
problem solving court bascd interventions including drug courts, as target populations are likely
to overlap, The David LawTence Center will work closely with the Collier County Court System,
i.e. Drug Court and the CCSO, to provide improved access to mental health and substance abuse
services. Increased professional support through affiliations with other consumer advocacy
organizations and increased involvement with participants' family members to provide education
and support will be established. In addition to intra-agency working relationships, the David
Lawrence Center will continue to develop formal and informal linkages with external

(' organizations such as drop-in-centers, homeless shelters, hospitals and substance abuse treatment
agencies.
In an effort to improve and sustain the Mental Health Court program, the David
Lawrence Center will provide mental health and substance abuse treatment and services with a
focus on improved access and increased referral rates, Grant funds will be utilized to supplement
other funding available to provide mental health and substance abuse services to program
participants who do not have third party resources, Medicaid, Medicare or an ability to pay for
services. Mental Health services will include Psychiatric Evaluations, Medication Management
Services, Case Management Services, Crisis Stabilization Inpatient Services and Emergency
Outpatient Services. Substance abuse services include Drug Screens, Outpatient Group Therapy,
Day Treatment and Residential Substance Abuse Trcatment.

The David Lawrence Center Mental Health professionals will continue to familiarize
themselves with the workings of the criminal justice system, The Mental Health Court Team will
be offered the opportunity to attend training sessions and view the operations of other mental
health courts through statewide mental health court round table discussions on implementation
strategies, outcome measures and sustainability.
The David Lawrence Center will pursue the necessary software to determine a way to
link (eam members together. In addition, Business Associate Agrecments will be established
with team members in an effort to effectively and efficiently communicate with Mental Health
Court Team members. Mental health professionals will be familiar with and continue to build
close working relationships with ancillary social services and faith based/community
organizations to achieve effective coordination and accessibility, Referrals would be made for
those participants with developmental and learning disabilities,

Additional stakeholders and partners include: SEDNET - Florida's Multiagency Service
Network for Students with Emotional Disabilities, Care Club, Naples Community Hospital
FACT _ Florida Assertive Community Treatment, St. Matthews House (homeless shelter), Self
Directed Care, Department of Children and Families and Collier County Government.
Collier County Housing and Human Services (HHS) successfully administers a number
of federal and state grants including, Community Devclopment Block Grant, HOME,

Partnership and Disaster Recovery Initiative, Under the direction of Marcy Krumbine, MP A and
Accounting Supervisor, Terri Daniels, MPA, the department holds over 27 years in grants
administration.

The partners expect that benefits from the community will result in immediate crisis
response, decrease in arrests and use of force, underserved consumers provided with care,
patient violence and use of restraints in the ER decreased, officers better trained and educated in
verbal de-escalation techniques, officer injuries during crisis events decline, officer recognition
and appreciation by the community increase, fewer "victimless" crime arrests occur, and a
decrease in liability for health care issues in the jail.
The project partners do not anticipate any barriers to implementing the project. The
project collaboration structure will ensure the success of the program through incrcased
communication, early identification and access to additional resources, Key stakeholder activities
include, the CCSO trained in recognizing those in need of crisis intervention, Court
Administration to oversee Mental Health Court, David Lav,Tence Center to provide mental health
and co-occurring service, referrals and linkages and HHS to provide fiscal oversight and

reporting. Consumers will be participants in the program who are screened and approved for the
Collier County Mental Health Court program, Consumer advocates will provide ongoing
support to the project and cOnsumers, The project will include education and support to family
members through the provision of case management services to help them provide support to
loved ones.
V: IMPACT/OUTCOMES. EVALUATION AND SUSTAINMENT
The collaborative project will have impacts and outcomes in several areas, For the
CCSO, 240 CIT officers will be trained who will apply their knowledge in the field. The
outcome will be an increase in diversion to the mental health care system and a decrease in the
arrest rates of mentally ill and the jail population of persons with suspected mcntal illness. CIT
will save lives and prevent injuries, both for consumers and officers. Officer injury data will
decrease as the program expands.
The evaluation will include the review of CIT trained officers' records of encounters with
individuals with mental illness and what happened as a result of encounters. lmprovcments to
the program will be based On internal and external review and evaluation of the encounters,
Once we get an adequate number of officers trained, CCSO will sustain the "Team" and only
vacancies will have to be filled.
Relating to the Collier County Mcntal Health Court program, the expected impact in the
three years would be to sce a substantial increase in the numbcr of referrals to the Collier County
Mental Health Court. This would also show a decrease in the population of the Collier County
Sheriffs Office jail with mental health issues as the number of referrals to the Collier County
Mental Health Court diversion program increases. This could be measured by comparing the

The Collier County Housing and Human Services will contract with the Collier County Sheriffs
Office (CCSO) to provide mental health training for CCSO law enforcement officers. A $50,000
three year contract will support costs associated with officer training regarding safety,
understanding, and service to the mentally ill and their families, Officers will receive training
under the instructional supervision of mental health providers, family advocates, and mental
health consumer groups. By the end of the grant period, 240 officers will have attended a 40
hour course of training in signs and symptoms of mental illness, medications, de-escalation, and
diversion, Training will include presentations from several community providers, such as
NAMI, the David Lawrence Center, SI. Matthews House (homeless shelter), and others. Each
trained officer will be part ofthe Collier County Sheriffs Office Crisis Intervention Team (CIT)
and will apply their knowledge in the field to result in diversion and a decrease in Collier
County's jail population of persons with suspected mental illness. $50,000 in federal and local
funds will support speaker fees, travel costs for speakers, staff time, and training supplies. Three
year federal funds for this contracted service are $36,505 with a three year local cash match of
$13,495, totaling $50,000. Expenses for training include a 5% anticipated cost increase for each
additional year.

It is anticipated that all participants in this program will require some combination of mental
health and substance abuse treatment. Collier County will contract with the David Lawrence
Mental Health Center to provide mental health and substance abuse services.
The cost to provide these services has been calculated at the State of Florida reimbursement
rates. The grant will be used to subsidize the portion of the cost of required treatment that the
participant cannot afford to pay. Service costs will be paid for in the following priority: 1) First
Prioritv; Medicaid and Third Party insurance will be utilized for covered participants. 2) Second

Memorandum of Understanding
May 2008
The Collier County Department of Housing and Human Services (HHS) is the lead
Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program applicant and supports the Collier
County Sheriffs Office (CCSO), Twentieth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, David
Lawrence Mental Health Center (DLC), National Alliance on Mental Illness of Collier
County (NAMI), and the Mental Health Association of Southwest Florida to mutually
enter into a Memorandum of Understanding for creating a collaborative effort between
the criminal justice and mental health systems to better serve individuals with mental
illness who encounter law enforcement officers.
1. History of Relationship
In an effort to support not-for-profit human service agencies, Collier County Government
has adopted as one of its core missions in its Five-Year Plan, to collaborate with other
agcncies to apply for and manage grants on their behalf to enhance existing scrvice and
implement innovative programs. The Housing and Human Services Department has
previously collaborated with the above mentioned agencies to seek grant funding to
addrcss the needs of the mentally ill who encounter law enforcement officials with
diversion to either mental health court or additional mental health and/or substance abuse
__-, servIces.
The goals of the partnering organizations are to protect the mentally ill and assist them in
obtaining the services needed and create a more effective and efficient method of
identifying and processing those who can be referred for Mental Health Court and
diversion to additional services. The CCSO and courts have an existing Mental Health
Court and Crisis Intervention Team training and the David Lawrence Center is the
community's provider for mental health and substance abuse treatment and services.
This grant will allow for additional planning for interagency communication,
collaboration and referral as well as expansion of training and full implemcntation of
Mental Health Court.
IT. Development ofthe Application
As this fonnal collaboration continues, the applicant, Collier County Government, met
with the Sheriffs Office, David Lawrence Center and the Court to develop a grant
application response. Each partner has contributed performance measurements and
outcomes and the amount of funding required to perfonn the activities.

III. Roles and Responsibilities
The Collier County Sheriffs Office
The Collier County Sheriffs Office Crisis Intervention Team (CrT) will work towards
the goal of having 240 law enforcement officers receive training to interact with persons
with mental illness. This training will allow officers to develop a more intelligent,
understandable, and safe approach to mental crisis events.
As a proactive law enforcemcnt agcncy, CCSO's ClT will be committcd to the
prevention of tragic situations and to find "win-win" solutions for all persons concerned.
The CrT program is a community effort enjoining both law enforcement and the
community together for common goals of safety, understanding, and service to the
mentally ill and their familics.
The CIT program will provide an opportunity for the development of additional
community partnerships and the collaboration of working together for community interest
of service and care.
The trained law enforcement officers will follow a referral process and improved
communication with Mental Health Court and David Lawrcnce Ccnter to assist thc target
population.
Da,'id Lawrence Center
Dave Lawrence Center will provide Mental Health Court eligibility screenings and Case
Management services to individuals referred to and acccpted into the program.
David Lawrence Center will identify potential participants as early as possible and
cncourage referrals through speaking engagements, news articles, mcdia, working with
social service agencies, law enforcement, jails, private and public defense attorneys,
judges and fanlily members.
In an effort to improve and sustain the Mental Health Court program, David Lawrence
Center will provide mental health and substance abuse treatment and services with a
focus on improved access and increased referral rates.
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Collier County
NAMr of Collier County (the National Alliance on Mental Illness) is the lead agency in
collaboration with the CCSO for the implementation of the initial CIT and will
coordinate the future trainings on a quarterly basis with the CCSO. NAMl has developed
the curriculum, engaged the stakeholders, and provided the trainers for the first ClT class
held in Collier County. NAMr also operates the Sarah AIm Drop in Centcr, a safe haven
Agenda Item No. 1602

~.
for persons to go during the day six days a week. The Sarah Ann Drop in Center (SAC)
is a resource in place for referral purposes for those who will be referred to and accepted
into the Mental Health Court Program, in addition to being a resource for CCSO. The
SAC provides an opportunity for socialization, a meal, and outings in the community,
computer classes, and ongoing enrichment activities. The SAC only employs persons in
recovery from a mental illness, and is completely peer run.
In addition, NAMI teaches the ten week Peer to Peer Course, which is a valuable
resource for the persons involved with the Mental Health Court. For many states, this is
becoming a permanent part of the treatment plan identified by the Mental Health Courts.
This ten week program, taught by persons in recovery from a mental illness, includes
topics of coping skills, medication management, a life action plan, and other ways to
cope with living with a mental illness. COMPEER services may also be offered to the
person in mental health court, which links a trained volunteer from the community with
the person with a diagnosis and spends time with them as a "friend". COMPEER is a
nationally rccognized, evidenced bascd progranl proven to reduce loneliness,
hospitalizations and increase self-esteem.
For years NAMI has provided financial support to persons in need of emergency
psychiatric diagnosis, medications, or other resources to help maintain in the community.
These financial supports have also benefited clients of the David Lawrence Center
~. (DLC), and of the mental health court currcntly in place. NAMI employs a part-time
person in recovery on the Crisis Stabilization Unit of the DLC to provide linkage to
community resources, and provide one on one support. This staff person is in a perfect
position to also make referrals to the Mental Health Court,
Our Fanlily to Family 12 week class is essential for the caregivers of those involved with
CIT or the mental health couti, These classes focus on the illness, medications, coping
skills, resources, empathy, navigation of the system, and advocacy. In addition, NAMI
has developed and implemented a one hour empathy training that has been provided to
many of the mental health court staff and Judiciary. The Empathy training is currently
offered to New Employee Orientation at the DLC and available to other community
partners. All ofNAMI's programs are offered free of charge.
NAMI has partnered with stakeholders for many years, and continues to forge new
relationships with new partners. NAMI is in a position to ensure the success of the
project and has the outcomes! evaluations on all of the above programs for review.
Twentieth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida
The Twentieth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida will divert individuals with a mental
illness to the mental health court where they can begin treatment associated with the
mental illness, instead of incarceration and punishment.

Page 57 of 59
Mental Health Court will allow participants to have more frequent contact with their case
managers and receive a face to face positive interaction with the Judge on a bi-weekly
court appearance reinforcing their pro gress.
Mental Health Association of Southwest Florida
The Mental Health Association of Southwest Florida will provide continued support
training services of reintegration into the workplace and community for individuals who
are being released into self care or the care of their family members from the Mental
Health Court or Judicial systcm. The programs will be offered to adolescents and adults.
Individuals who have been processed through the mental health courts or released from
jail often do not have the social, emotional or work support systems in place to avoid
recidivism. The Mental Health Association will accept referrals to our support training
groups where there is a focus on social integration and emotional stability through
appropriate follow up with outpatient care and medication management with community
mental health providers. Workplace training will be offered to persons who are
participating with David Lawrence Center programs and to persons who are referred and
potentially at risk for incarceration due to noncompliance with behavioral program
guidelines. The Association is working towards the creation of a Clubhouse model
program and will continue to providc training and support to individuals diagnoscd with a
mental illness. Senior and Peer counselors will be matched with potential refcrrals.

and fiscal agent for the grant project.

County Government, receiving the funds requested for this project in the Bureau of
Justice Assistance grant application. The beginning and end dates of the collaborative
effort would coincide with the grant period, anticipated to he Septcmber 1, 2008 through
