Mental Health Supervision

*In case of emergency: If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call 911 or an emergency crisis center right away.

If you are on probation and have mental health concerns, you might be eligible for specialized supervision. A specially trained probation officer will supervise you, track your progress, and help you find the services you need. Ask your probation officer if you qualify.

Mental health supervision provides:

Smaller caseloads, more individualized attention, and more field visits;
Focus on treatment and social services; and
Coordination with treatment providers and families to build a strong support network.

Selection process for the adult mental health supervision caseload

You can speak to your probation officer if you think you will be more successful on probation with a specialized probation officer who understands mental health concerns. Also, your probation officer might speak with you if he or she thinks you will benefit from extra probation support.
In order to be considered for this caseload, you must complete a mental health assessment or provide a copy of an assessment completed within the past year.
If you are not receiving mental health treatment and want a referral, you can ask your probation officer to provide one or you can find a Community Based Mental Health Agencies by County on your own.
