Public Service at the CORE: Law Enforcement and Mental Health Providers Working Together in Crisis Response

This vitalvoices Speaker Series took place virtually on October 1st from 1:00 —2:30 p.m. The topic of discussion was CORE, a joint project of the Harris County Sherriff s Office and The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD.
 
This innovative program partners law enforcement with mental health providers to offer assistance to people before they may become involved in the criminal justice system. Already successful, organizations around the country have asked for help to replicate the program in their local area.
 
Panelists include members of the Harris County Sherriff’s Office and the Harris Center who implemented the program as well as professors from the UHD's College of Public Service who are evaluating the project. Also joining us is Arnold Ventures who is funding the project.
