The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation have announced the 2015–16 Integrated Policy Academy-Action Network Initiative. They will select as many as four states to improve policies and practices to divert justice-involved youth who have behavioral health disorders to community-based services. The National Center for Mental Health and Juvenile Justice at Policy Research Associates and the Technical Assistance Collaborative will coordinate this initiative.
