ITEM SUMMARY SHEET
DEPARTMENT SPONSORED BY
Circuit Court Penny Luebs
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
New to the Oakland County Circuit Court - Family Division for fiscal 2023, is the Juvenile Mental
Health Court (JMHC). This problem-solving court uses alternative legal procedures to aid non-
violent juvenile offenders who are challenged with serious mental health needs. JMHC is based on
the concept of therapeutic jurisprudence, which incorporates treatment and accountability into the
criminal justice process. The program is designed to offer youth ages 11-19, who meet established
eligibility requirements, the opportunity to voluntarily participate and engage in intensive, treatment-
focused, community-based probationary services. The program is designed to be approximately
12-24 months in length and is structured using a phase system with corresponding levels of
incentives, sanctions, and therapeutic adjustments. There are four phases in total, and while each
phase is individualized to meet the unique needs of the participant, there are benchmarks set at
each level to ensure that the minimum compliance standards are met.
This is a request to accept FY 2023 funding.
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: Yes

Re: Michigan Mental Health Court Grant Program Award Notification
6th Circuit Court — Juvenile Mental Health Court
SCAO UI: U20046
Dear Chief Judge Matis:
I am pleased to inform you that your court has been awarded a grant in the amount of
$30,000 from the Michigan Mental Health Court Grant Program administered by the State Court
Administrative Office. This award is for the grant period October 1, 2022, through
September 30, 2023.
Your court’s fiscal year 2023 contract will be e-mailed from DocuSign to your project
director, Nathanial Gilling. Signed contracts must be returned by December 16, 2022. The
budget, based on your court’s actual award, must be updated in WebGrants by
November 10, 2022. Instructions for revising your budget are attached to the message your
project director will receive from WebGrants.
The Michigan Supreme Court and SCAO greatly appreciate your efforts and passion for
these life-saving court programs. Thank you for making a positive difference in so many lives.
As a reminder, SCAO transitioned away from a competitive grant process this year,
focusing instead on funding yearly fixed costs and inflationary increases with an emphasis on
grant utilization. This approach ensures all problem-solving courts in Michigan can maintain
services and assist participants. Each year we receive grant requests that greatly exceed the total
amount spent in the preceding fiscal year and available funding for awards to courts. I assure
September 28, 2022
Page Two
you that we make every effort to fully fund reasonable grant requests. It is our hope that these
changes will create reliability when budgeting in your court.
Please also keep in mind that we will continue to consider reallocations throughout the
fiscal year. If you find that additional funding is needed to support your program during fiscal
year 2023, please make a request through the WebGrants system. If you are not able to spend all
of your grant award, please notify us as soon as possible so that we may transfer a portion of
your grant award to a program with additional need.
To assist with grant utilization, SCAO has eliminated certain spending caps this year and
expanded the list of allowable expenses so that courts have more discretion in managing their
problem-solving court programs.
If you have any questions about the grant or need assistance regarding best practices,
please contact Andrew Smith at 517-373-0954 or at smitha@courts.mi.gov. For assistance in
publicizing the success of your court, please contact John Nevin at 517-373-0129 or
nevinj@courts.mi.gov.
Sincerely,
Thomas P. Boyd
State Court Administrator

New to the Oakland County Circuit Court -Family Division for fiscal year 2023, the Juvenile Mental Health Court
(JMHC) is a problem-solving court that uses alternative legal procedures to aid non violent juvenile offenders wbo are
challenged with serious mental health needs. JMHC is based on the concept of therapeutic jnrisprudence, which
incorporates treatment and accountability into the criminal justice process. The program is designed to offer youth, ages
11 -19, who meet established eligibility criteria, the opportunity to voluntarily participate and engage in intensive,
treatment-focused, community-based probationary services.
In order for a youth to be considered for participation in the JMHC program, the following eligibility requirements must
be met: I. the child must be between 11 and 19 years old (inducted into the program prior to 18th birthday), 2. the child
and his / her family must maintain Oakland County residency, 3. the child cannot meet the criteria of a "violent
offender," which is defined as a juvenile who is adjudicated on or has been, with the preceding 5 years, adjudicated on I
or more of the following offenses: First Degree Murder, Second Degree Murder, Criminal Sexual Conduct in the first,
second, or third degree, or Assault with Intent to do Great Bodily Harm Less Than Murder, 4. the child must be
assessed as being moderate to high risk on the Youth Level of Service / Case Management Inventory (YLS / CMI), 5.
the child mnst comply with a mental health assessment completed by a mental health professional and have a primary
diagnosis of a Serious Mental Illness, Serious Emotional Disturbance, and/ or Co-Occurring Disorder. Participants with
a Developmeutal Disability diagnosis, including a Traumatic Brain Injury, will be assessed for admittance by the Judge
on an individual basis, 6. the child may not have any severe problems that could preclude them from safe or meaningful
participation in the JMHC program, and 7. the child and family must voluntarily enter the program and willingly agree
to abide by the JMHC guidelines.
The JMHC incorporates a non-adversarial team approach and is led by an Oakland Conaty Circuit Court Judge with the
additional support of a Family Division Attorney Referee. The team also includes a program coordinator, prosecuting
attorney, defense advisor, caseworker, casework intern, Oakland Co=unity Health Network liaison, various local
mental health treatment providers, data analyst, as well as other representatives from within the Court and from the
co=unity. Each team member is tasked with protecting the rights of the individual, while also being held to the
highest standard in terms of maintaining participant confidentiality. Team members are further responsible for
noderstanding State of Michigan legislation and statutes as it relates to problem-solving courts, keeping current with
trainings and new developments in the mental health and criminal justice fields, as well as adherence to the established
best practices, essential elements, and guiding principles of treatment courts.
JMHC is designed to be approximately 12 -24 months in length and is structured using a phase system with
corresponding levels of incentives, sanctions, and therapeutic adjustments. There are four phases in total, and while
each phase is individualized to meet the unique needs of the participant, there are benchmarks set at each level to ensure
that minimum compliance standards are being met.
Phase I (Acute Stabilization/ Orientation):
Phase I aims to ensure that the participant has created a safe and supportive environment for personal growth and is
properly oriented to both the rules and structure of the JMHC program. In this phase the participant will identify a
treatment provider and develop a safety plan to deal with possible crisis situations. This phase is a minimum of 8 weeks
in length and requires a minimum of twice weekly probation contacts in addition to bi-weekly attendance at Status
Review Hearings.
Phase 2 (Clinical Stabilization/ Program Engagement):
This phase requires the participant to develop an individualized treatment plan and relapse prevention plan (if
applicable) and fully engage and invest themselves into said plan(s). Additionally, the participant will work to identify
and utilize proper co=unity supports that align with their healthy living goals. Phase 2 is a minimum of 16 weeks in
length and requires a minimum of twice weekly probation contacts in addition to bi-weekly attendance at Status Review
Hearings.
Phase 3 (Adaptive and Pro-Social Habitation):
Phase 3 is designed to help participants take ownership over their actions, reinforce proper social and life skill
development, as well as explore and address any environmental factors that may be hindering the fulfillment of their
goals. Phase 3 is a minimum of 16 weeks in length and requires a minimum of once weekly probation contacts in
addition to monthly attendance at Status Review Hearings
Phase 4 (Maintenance):
This phase allows the opportnoity for participants to demonstrate that they are able to properly utilize their newly
formed skills without prompting through proper self-assessment. The participant in this phase will have an increased
level of independence and will also need to be able to show a high-level of functiouing while maintaining a support
system that extends beyond what has been provided to them through the program. Phase 4 is a minimum 8 weeks in
length and requires a minimum of once weekly probation contacts in addition to monthly attendance at Status Review
Hearings.
It is the goals of the program that those who participate in JMHC will show the development of skills and supports
necessary to live a life in which their mental health needs are properly managed and contribute to a better sense of
individual well-being, avoid unnecessary hospitalization or incarceration, decrease their risk to the community, and
have a reduced risk for recidivism.
Currently, the JMHC program does have a completed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by all parties and
a finalized Local Administrative Order (LAO), which allows the opportunity to request initial program certification
through the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO). Additionally, there is a completed Policy and Procedures
Manual in place detailing the workings of the program and the requirements for both the staff and participants. The
Court also has an identified team of professionals who are already working diligently to familiarize themselves with
problem-solving courts as well as currently participating in focused trainings, all done in an effort to prepare
themselves to step in to begin services as soon as able. This information noted above, combined with a determination of
need completed through a prescreening of our current court-involved youth, signals that the program will not only be
ready to accept participants beginning October 1,2022 should grant funds be awarded, but that there will be a high need
within our Court for this program and the opportunity for the census to fill quickly.
In saying all of this, in order for the JMHC to operate, it will need the assistance of the Michigan Mental Health Court
Grant Program, as it is not able to be fully funded through local means. This support is specifically being requested to
help in two main areas, which include the costs associated with contractual services and program supplies, as well as
some minor aid with training.
The contractual services, which consumes a large portion of our grant request, wonld mainly be used to help cover the
costs for a part-time mental health / substance use liaison, which is a partnership required through statute for the
operation of this program. The liaison position, as established through an Inter-Local Governmental Agreement with
Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN), would assist in mental health and substance abuse screenings and
assessments for our participants, to both help determine initial program eligibility and any increases in level of care determinations after a participant has entered the program, assist in coordinating and monitoring therapeutic services through OCHN's core providers, as well as providing consultation and aide in our case conferences and court
proceedings.
Additionally, these requested funds would be used to help supplement the costs associated with treatment services, drug
and alcohol screening, and electronic tether monitoring. The treatment services funding would aide our youth and
families in need by providing assistance, after the full utilization of private insurance benefits, in helping to meet the
demands for uncovered costs and fees associated with individual, family, and group counseling, psychiatric
services, day treatment or inpatient hospitalization, or necessary psychotropic medication. Furthermore, the drug testing
and alcohol screening, as well as the electronic monitoring, would both used in an effort to promote accountability
amongst the participants as well as demonstrate compliance efforts to the Court.
Finally, funding support is being sought for both supplies and training in relation to the purchase of clinical workbooks
and journals for the youth, incentives that will be used to help motivate and reward program participants for their
positive efforts, as well as MATCP registration fees for training for our program staff.
In conclusion, the support offered through SCAO would allow for program operation which increases public safety
(goal #3) and reduces the need for hospitalization or incarceration (goal #2) by allowing for eligible participants to receive intensive monitoring in the community as opposed to serving time in an out of home placement. In addition,
because the services offered through JMHC are directly focused on addressing an individual's mental health disorder,
the youth leave better-equipped with the tools, supports, and confidence necessary for an improved quality oflife (goal
#1 ), which would help to decrease their chances of reoffending (goal #4).
Did your program receive No
SCAO-administered grant funds
in the current fiscal year?:
Please select all of the grant
programs which funded this
program in the current fiscal
year.:
What was the total amount of $0.00
SCAO-administered grant funds
the program was awarded in the
current fiscal year?:
Will the program likely expend
all of its grant award during the
current fiscal year? :
What are the reasons that the
program will likely not spend
the entire grant award during
the current fiscal year? :
Have any of the service(s) Yes
and/or good(s) rates increased
from the current fiscal year?
(e.g. coordinator pay increased from
, drug tests
increased from $12 to $15)
List the service(s) and/or
good(s), the current fiscal year
rate, and the new rate.:
As a first-year problem solving court program, there were no prior rates established for program services and goods
within the JMHC resulting in all costs coming in at an "increase" from the prior year. With that said, the expected rates
for the costs associated with personnel (including benefits), contractual services, supplies, and training are listed on the
budget portion of this grant request and are closely aligned with those being sought for our Juveuile Drug Court
program.
Aside from increases covered Yes
above, are you requesting more
grant funds in this application
than the program was awarded
during the current fiscal year?:
Please explain why more funds
are being requested.
(e.g. program expansion, increase in
services, or operational adjustments)
The JMHC is seeking grant funds totaling $61,075 .00, which may be higher than what is typically secured through a
planning grant request, as the expectation is that our problem-solving court program will satisfy the requirements to be
fully operational (including a signed MOU, LAO, and completed Policy and Procedures Manual), prepared with a fully
trained treatment team that is organized and ready to begin immediately begin servicing clients as of October 1, 2022,
as well as the ability to meet our projected census goal of achieving a caseload of at least 10 participants within the first
six months of programming,
For the upcoming/next fiscal No
year, will the program receive
funding from another source
(non SCAO-funding, such as
local or federal funding), or has
the program applied for funding
from another source?*:
Please provide the following information
1.) Have you received notification of award?
2.) What is the funding source?
3.) What is the maximum amount per year?
4.) When will the funds expire?

tether monitoring. For drug testing, we use AverHealth (JAMS), which provides our clients with numerous
testing locations across Oakland County. AverHealth charges $9.00 for a 10panel (instant test) screen. They will
complete a PBT for free if the defendant shows for a regularly scheduled drug screen; however, if they are called to
show up for a PBT alone, then they charge a $4.00 fee. Lab confirmations are $24.00, mouth swabs are $15.00 for a 5-
panel screen, and additional testing for other substa nces is available using a set fee chart. Drug testing confirmations are
to be paid through grant funds only if the confirmation is negative. House Arrest Services is used for alcohol tether
monitoring at approximately $6.50/day plus enrollment fees of $40.00 (at app roximately 90 days for a participa nt in
need) . The total cost of $5,000.00 will be covered by the Child Care Fund.
Treatment Services: These funds requested will be used as needed within the guidelines of allowable expenses to
supp ort participants in paying for individual, fami ly, and group counseling services, both in the outpatient and intensive
outpatient setting, as well as assist with any necessary day treatment, inpatient hospitalization, or medication fees not
covered through insurance. Counseling services would occur through an OCHN core provider and would be charged at
the lowest negotiated rate beginning at ap proximately $65.00 for an individual session and $25.00 for a group session.
Day treatment, inpatient hospitalization, and medication fees will vary based on the child's needs and will be evaluated
on a case-by-case basis with assistance only provided after an individual utilizes the full benefits of their insurance
provider. The total cost of$10,000 will be paid for out of the Child Care fund.

are $6.50 per day plus an enrollment fee of $40.00 (at approximately 30 to 90 days for a participant in need). The
