Policy Research Associates, Inc. (PRA) is conducting a national scan, funded by the State Justice Institute, to identify courts that have implemented behavioral health court navigator programs.
Building on PRA’s 2023 National Compendium of Court Navigators, this effort will document the continued growth of navigator programs and produce an updated resource on their prevalence and scope.
Seeking examples of court navigator programs that:
- Provide guidance related to court procedures and connect people to behavioral health resources in the community
- Offer voluntary services for court-involved individuals
- Offer services through state or lower-level courts (criminal, civil, juvenile, and family)
If your court has a behavioral health court navigator that fits this description, PRA would love to hear from you! Please reach out to Dr. Samantha Zottola (szottola@prainc.com) to share a brief description of your program.
