Sequential Intercept Mapping Workshops

The Texas Behavioral Health and Justice Technical Assistance Center (TA Center) hosts sequential intercept model (SIM) mapping workshops in partnership with the Judicial Commission on Mental Health. These day-long workshops bring together community leaders and agency representatives to find ways to connect people with mental illness, substance use disorders, and intellectual and developmental disabilities to treatment instead of incarceration.

Facilitators guide participants to:

• Map local resources and gaps across the SIM.

• Identify services that support diversion from criminal and juvenile justice systems.

• Share evidence-based and emerging best practices for each intercept.

• Strengthen relationships across systems and agencies.

• Create a customized local map and action plan to address gaps.
