Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) Mapping Workshops with Dr. Lynda Frost & Doug Smith

This episode features JCMH Partners Dr. Lynda Frost and Doug Smith as they break down Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) Mapping Workshops and the collaborative role they play alongside the Texas Judicial Commission on Mental Health and local communities.

A SIM Mapping Workshop brings community members together to look at what services are available, where there are gaps, and what changes are needed. It also helps the community assess how ready they are for change by looking at how well their mental health, justice, and substance use systems work together, so the workshop can be tailored to their needs.
