Sponsored by the Milwaukee Mental Health Task Force and Milwaukee Turners.
This is the third session in a series of Zoom forums on the way that people with mental illness encounter the court system. This session will address the planning and discharge process when someone with serious mental illness who has been incarcerated is returning to the community. The panel will also discuss roles and responsibilities in providing re-entry support.
