[VIRTUAL] Court Navigation Programs

Court Navigation Programs: Providing Connections and Support Across the Legal and Behavioral Health Systems.

In this webinar, researchers from Policy Research will share findings from a three-year study of court navigator programs located across the United States. Researchers completed a national scan of court navigator programs, conducted site visits to five programs, and interviewed nearly 100 people who were involved with these programs in various capacities. Researchers will summarize findings across programs regarding the structure, daily workflow, lessons learned, and reported benefits of court navigator programs. A special emphasis will be placed on the role of court navigators in providing connections to behavioral health services in the community. The webinar will include a panel discussion featuring court navigators and will conclude with an audience Q&A.
