The Center Collaborative

Creative Solutions in Behavioral Health and Criminal Justice

From the Oregon Center on Behavioral Health and Criminal Justice, this series shines a light on partnerships that are moving the dial, leading to better solutions and outcomes for people who may become involved with the justice system due to experiencing behavioral health, intellectual/developmental disabilities, or neurocognitive concerns.

We talk with guests representing prominent voices from government, the judicial system, public safety, healthcare, and the broader community throughout metropolitan and rural parts of Oregon.

Why is the community experiencing I/DD considered a hidden population regarding the intersection of behavioral health and criminal justice?

The importance of providing accommodations, not just services.

The use of CommCards to support communication and accommodation in educational, medical, and legal settings.
