Like most jurisdictions, Contra Costa County's juvenile justice system includes significant
numbers of minors with serious mental health problems. The purpose of this project will be
to reduce recidivism through treatment in partnership with parents. The project will serve
eligible youth locally, in community-based treatment programs. The Mentally III Offender
Grant services will be concentrated in the areas of the County singled out for service as part
of the Disproportionate Minority Contact project.
The Data Collection and analysis contract will allow the Probation Department to meet the
Requirement of reporting mandated information to the CSA.
