Statewide Interest:

This project continues to support a statewide need as reflected in the Governor's goals of increasing the percent of youth who remain crime free while in secure detention and ensure zero escape as well as protecting the state's most vulnerable by providing treatment and care to those suffering from mental disorders.� It is also consistent with the Governor's recommendations for mental health services for juveniles in residential committmment programs as presented in the 2002-2003 budget.� Specifically, the Project will continue to provide an overlay of mental health, psychiatric and crisis assessments in the Osceola Detention Facility to youth awaiting court processing or awaiting placement in juvenile justice residential committment facilities and will reduce escapes and new cribes by juvenile detainees. This project was funded last year by the Florida Legislature and approved by the Governor. Measureable outcomes are established and have been met.
