Webinar Speakers Announced: Fostering Partnerships and Collaborations across the Sequential Intercept Model (SIM)
April 30, 2020, 2:30-4:00 p.m. ET
Partnerships and collaboration are considered essential ingredients in establishing an effective continuum of services across the Sequential
Intercept Model. SAMHSA’s GAINS Center presents a webinar discussion with practitioners who have established effective partnerships and collaboration across the intercepts to increase services for justice-involved individuals with mental and substance use
disorders. Presenters will share the perspectives and strategies that have been critical to their success. Guidance on practical application will be explored through discussions of these innovative and replicable examples, which illustrate cross-sector partnerships
between criminal justice agencies and behavioral health that foster information-sharing, enhanced buy-in from law enforcement to diversion services, effectively serving individuals with substance use disorders inside correctional settings, improving services
for individuals experiencing homelessness, and enhancing community corrections.
