The West Virginia Youth Early Diversion Behavioral Health Partnership will foster collaboration among state partners to develop or enhance processes to divert youth and young adults up to age 25 with mental illness or co-occurring disorders from the juvenile justice and criminal justice systems to expanded, culturally responsive community-based behavioral health services. This work will build upon state efforts to effect youth behavioral health threat assessments, school discpline reform, and improved access to behavioral health services. It is estimated that 100 youth and young adults will be served per year for a total of 500 individuals over the course of the five-year grant.
