Examining the Role of Mental Health in Criminal Justice with Dr. Elizabeth Falcon

There is a unanimous consensus that the criminal justice system needs to change – but what exactly needs to change, and how? Dr. Elizabeth Falcon, CEO and founder of nationally recognized consulting and management firm Falcon, visits 360 Justice to discuss the growing trend of creating change-oriented environments that promote successful reintegration opportunities for inmates. Dr. Falcon also lends her expertise on different treatment approaches, the recognition of trauma, and how diversion and deflection translate into more manageable and agreeable inmates.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The dual-diagnosis patient – patients with mental health needs along with previous or current substance abuse
  • The built environment and its contribution to stabilizing or declining mental health
  • The ability to quantify cost savings and a measurable outcome for a stronger inmate re-entry program
  • The success of cross-collaboration between systems, stakeholders, and decision-makers within the justice industry
