ANNOTATION: This report explains how the “Jail Diversion and Trauma Recovery Initiative has reshaped how communities and states address the behavioral health service needs of justice-involved veterans in numerous ways” (p. 1). Some of these ways include extending traditional criminal justice/behavioral health partnerships, addressing the pervasive effects of trauma, coordinating services between the Veteran Health Administration and community providers, and developing a strong presence of peers on advisory committees and as service providers. Pilot site activities and the implementation of lessons learned to statewide programming are also discussed.
