Ohio Launches Hamilton County Mental Health Court

The Hamilton County Mental Health Court of the Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services officially launched on July 30, 2015. The program provides mentally ill offenders the opportunity to receive alternative sentencing in exchange for increased accountability and mandatory treatment. To qualify for the program, offenders must be Hamilton County, Ohio residents and have some insight into their mental illness. Each participant volunteers to be part of the court and is given a regimen of check-ups, mental health treatment, and supervision tailored to their illness.
