Funded by the Sacramento County Division of Mental Health, Project New Direction provides intensive community services to individuals identified through Jail Psychiatric Services. The primary goal is to prevent individuals with psychiatric disabilities from needlessly cycling through the criminal justice system by providing key services that will impact this cycle.

Services offered by Project New Direction include:

• Case Management
• Medication Assessment and Monitoring
• Substance Abuse treatment
• Assistance with Medical Care
• Skills Building Activities

Project New Direction is currently filled to capacity. Efforts continue to secure additional funding to be able to provide additional quality services to clients that have experienced both the mental health and the criminal justice system. Check back often for Project New Direction updates.
