On Monday, May 6th, community partners from numerous Monmouth County Government Agencies met at the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office to launch three new community-based initiatives. The programs, meant to promote mental health services across Monmouth County, are as follows:
- The ARRIVE Together program, which will partner law enforcement with mental health specialists.
- The Link 2 Care program, which lets law enforcement refer at-risk individuals to mental health services.
- The ReStart Diversion Program, which would divert low level offenders with mental health conditions from incarceration to psychiatric services.
The initiatives share a goal of enhancing the mental health of individuals whose personal problems have led to unfortunate run-ins with law enforcement, as well as giving them the tools to rehabilitate themselves.
