The CBHJ is proud to recognize the heroic actions of Deputies Haley Schneider and Jamie Moll of the Gogebic County Sheriff's Office. Their quick response using Narcan to reverse an overdose not only saved a life but demonstrated the critical importance of community-based harm reduction initiatives. The CBHJ has worked closely with the Sheriff's Office through our naloxone vending machine (NVM) and Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) programs. As Sgt. Trevor Jackovich noted, “If we did not have the Narcan in the jail, things could have turned out different.” This award underscores the importance of these lifesaving resources and the dedication of our community partners. https://lnkd.in/ej28T4F9

关于我们
We envision communities in which research, data and best practices are used by multiple stakeholders to enhance the optimal well-being of individuals with mental illness and/or substance use disorders who come in contact with the criminal/legal system. As facilitators of community change, our mission is to ensure that individuals with mental illness and/or substance use disorders are treated with dignity, respect and justice and that they receive needed services. We work in five ways in order to have the broadest impact: I. We work collaboratively. We bring together diverse stakeholders to influence systems change. II. We bring to the table the best-of-the-best. We gather together staff, faculty and community expertise in evidence-based and best practices to lead, guide and support local communities’ change efforts. III. We harness the power of real-time data. We help stakeholders from a variety of disciplines make sense of complex, often disconnected data so that they can assess programs, evaluate outcomes and make real-time data driven decisions. IV. We offer a social work lens on transformation. We use social work values along with a multi-disciplinary approach to explore solutions and help communities create a new vision for what is possible. V. We seek out and share new strategies and solutions. We provide systems mapping, data collection/analysis, action planning and other technical assistance to maximize stakeholder effectiveness.

CBHJ team members and collaborators including coordinator Kevin Papuga, jail administration consultant Todd Rawling, and state diversion project analyst Tanner Terwillegar, visited several counties in Michigan's Upper Peninsula to engage with local partners on the Rural Jails Mental Health Project. This program will provide rural jails with the behavioral health support staff and services needed to divert, deflect and/or shepherd those with behavioral health needs out of or through the criminal justice system to gain access to needed care both during and outside of incarceration. Community resources have been few and far between for the UP and we thrilled to be in a position to support these communities.
