Mobilizing Federal Resources, Collaborating with Other BJA Grantees

As RSAT funding has shrunk, there are even less resources for even the most evidence-based, well run RSAT programs in prisons and jails. Therefore, it is in their interest to collaborate with other BJA funded programs where possible to mutually enhance their services. The Center for Court Innovation is the training/technical assistance provider for drug courts, whose services often dovetail with those of RSAT programs. The Council of State Governments CSG) Justice Center in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance runs the National Reentry Resource Center, which provides user friendly information on substance use and mental disorders. The CSG Justice Center is the technical assistance and training provider for the Second Chance Act and the Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program. Hear from representatives from both BJA funded programs as to how their services might coordinate with those of RSAT programs.
