Between May and September 2023, CHJ will be holding five grantee cohort focus area calls on the five critical elements of deflection, a framework developed by CHJ (https://www.cossapresources.org/Content/Documents/Articles/CHJ_TASC_Cri…). Each call will focus on one element and will feature 2-3 practitioners in the field discussing how their program implements the specific critical element.
June focused on Critical Element #3, description below:
Critical Element 3: Standardizing First Responder Deflection will include speakers from featured deflection sites Cory Nelson from Madison, WI., and Annette Kahrs from Hope Not Handcuffs in NY. They will share their expertise on the essential policies that have been effective in their programs, and the pivotal role of training in bolstering the department's deflection efforts. Drawing from their real-world experiences, they will showcase how these policies have contributed to improved outcomes, enhanced the team's capabilities, and streamlined operations.
