The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS) has implemented the
Jail Diversion and Trauma Recovery
Program (JDTR)—Priority to Veterans to
support local implementation and Statewide expansion of trauma-integrated jail

pilot criminal justice diversion project.
At the State level, the State Mental
Health Authority (SMHA) will convene
a State Advisory Committee that
provides oversight of pilot projects’
training, diversion, service delivery and
local project evaluation, as well as
design and implement plans to
disseminate knowledge about effective
pilot projects and to replicate them in
other communities in the State. CMHS
is requesting approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to

the Semi-Annual Progress Report
(SAPR), to evaluate the implementation,
expansion, and sustainability of jail
diversion and trauma-informed services
developed under the JDTR program.
