2022 National Rural Summit on Criminal Justice

This Equitas Project virtual summit series is focused on rural and frontier diversion efforts and the unique roles and challenges of rural and frontier leaders in disentangling mental health and criminal justice. Presenters will share brief overviews of their diversion work, with time for questions and discussion involving all participants. We’ll hear from law enforcement, judicial, behavioral health, and partners about innovative work being done to promote better health and safety outcomes and reduce incarceration and criminalization in communities with smaller populations, sometimes limited resources, and sometimes vast geographical territories.

*The Equitas Project is Mental Health Colorado’s national initiative to disentangle mental health and criminal justice.
