RFP for Court-Based Mental Health Navigator

The New York State Office of Mental Health is providing the Office of Community Services for Warren and Washington Counties funding in the amount of $101,338 (annual funding) for development of a Court-Based Mental Health Navigator in Warren County. Court-Based Mental Health Navigators (hereafter “Navigators”) support justice-involved individuals with mental health needs who are currently in the community. Navigators work with local systems to coordinate voluntary care for justice-involved individuals to support their health, wellness and recovery. Navigators have a strong understanding of the local mental health, social services, and criminal justice systems. Ideally, Navigators will work at courthouses and work closely with peer specialists to foster rapid connection to services and encourage engagement and participation with services.
