Description
The Court Assessment Services Team (CAST) is a screening and aftercare program that provides intervention services and treatment to youth who demonstrate delinquent behaviors. To assist with linkage to mental health treatment and substance abuse services, the program developed the Mental Health Court Liason program in 2008. The MHC Liaison provides screening, assessment, treatment, and community service linkage. The expansion of this program will fund two FTE MHC Liaison positions for the Allen County Juvenile Court.
