We have a significant role to play in San Diego County HHSA service delivery. Juvenile Forensic Services is organized to provide clinical services and crises intervention to youth and their families in the Juvenile Justice System. We provide Crisis Intervention and on-going treatment to children and adolescents detained in two Juvenile Halls and two Probation Camp facilities. In this context we work closely with the general health clinic located in our detention facilities. We also provide consultation and training to Probation staff. We do psychological assessments at the request of the Court and provide intervention for minors in crisis over their arrest or the serious charges they may be facing. We do follow up counseling and medication for mentally unstable youth in these circumstances, and do evaluations for medication referrals and competency to stand trial questions. We do group therapy and currently run a variety of therapy groups especially in the Camp programs. We provide consultation to Probation on placement and planning issues. We assess and collaborate for court specific programs (JFAST -mental health court; Drug Court; and CSEC-focused Court) which has the goal of diverting emotionally disturbed youth out of the Probation system, while setting up intensive mental health treatment and family support in the community.

To provide mental health assessment, intervention, and services to those children and their families who are involved in the Juvenile Justice System and who are without other resources to secure such services. To coordinate mental health services with those of the Probation Department in such a manner as to promote the best interests of this population of special needs youth and prevent their chronic, generational involvement in the mental health, social services, and criminal justice systems of San Diego County.
