Mental Health Court Support (MHCS) Program

The Mount Sinai Hospital Mental Health Court Support (MHCS) Program responds to individuals with an ethno-racial background and with mental health difficulties. These individuals find themselves in conflict with the criminal justice system primarily because of their mental health disturbances.

Through a cooperative relationship with other mental health court workers from CRCT, Mount Sinai Hospital MHCS Program provides culturally sensitive services and support to individuals of ethno-racial background with mental health difficulties. Through necessary treatment support and the process of diversion, it is hoped that recidivism of this population will be significantly reduced or eliminated.
