The ultimate aim is to assist defendants in moving forward with their legal case and with their lives in a healthier place.
The Therapists work with a team of psychiatric providers, psychiatric nurses, forensic examiners, forensic educator, group facilitator, and data coordinator led and supported by a program director.
