REESTABLISHING SUPPORT
We believe recovery in mental health is real. We believe successful reintegration into the community is achievable.”
Serving Montgomery County
For individuals with a mental health
diagnosis and interaction with the legal system
Here to Help
Navigating the legal system can be overwhelming for anyone.
Justice Related Services (JRS) empowers adults with a mental health diagnosis to create a path through the legal system and connect to resources to support successful re-entry in community living.
Your Advocate
JRS recognizes that individuals face many challenges when transitioning from jail back into the community. Managing the responsibilities that come with reentry can be overwhelming—both while still incarcerated and after release.
Our case managers and peer specialists are here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re in jail or already in the community, they’ll meet you where you are and help you navigate the tasks ahead.
Our Approach
We practice a person-centered approach of support and encourage you to use your own strengths in achieving success and independence.
In 2024, JRS was able to guide 27 individuals out of incarceration into the community with re-entry plans.
Another 21 individuals graduated from the JRS program and are self-sustaining in the community.
JRS also diverted 514 individuals from jail and police contact. Instead, they were able to receive the mental health treatment they needed.

What can JRS help me with?
JRS will support you on identifying your goals. Some of these goals can be like community living, building positive relationships and finding value. Support can happen in the jail with connecting you to resources and housing opportunities prior to release. In the community JRS provides mobile support at the person homes or other location where they may feel most comfortable.
Typically, JRS provides 1 hour of support per week, but hours of support can vary on person's needs. Support in the community can vary by person, which will depend on the individual's goals and needs. JRS does not provide financial resources personally; however, can help look for other opportunities for financial support.
