Provide a brief demographic and/or diagnostically descriptive statement about the population your program serves:
Gateways CONREP services adults from 18 to 80+ who are judicially committed (e.g., PC 1026, Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity) or under the auspice of the Board of Parole Hearings (e.g., PC 2962, Mentally Disordered Offenders). The majority of these individuals discharged from a state hospital and now live under Gateways CONREP's supervision in board and care facilities within Los Angeles, though some individuals also live more independently throughout the entire Los Angeles County area. Gateways CONREP's population represents many cultural and ethnic backgrounds--the majority having limited financial resources and receiving government assistance, while some are undocumented immigrants who are funded by the State. Most of our clients have a severe and chronic mental illness, including both an affective and psychotic component. In addition, many of these individuals have a secondary substance abuse diagnosis as well as characterological deficits and personality disorder diagnoses.
