1. PIMA COUNTY PEER LEARNING SITE VISIT  
Presented by Colleen Clark-Bernhardt, CJC Coordinator  
Discussion of the opportunity to complete a site visit of the Pima County, AZ crisis care  
continuum. This site visit was an opportunity through the National Association of  
Counties (NACo). Pima County is one of the national leaders in behavioral health and  
criminal justice. This provides crisis services, in addition to connection to other services.  
Law enforcement are able to connect people experiencing behavioral health crises to  
treatment quickly. Note that there are a lot of differences in government set-up and  
funding between Wisconsin and Arizona.  
Discussion ensues. Differences in funding and structure of health services in counties.

2. DEBRIEF: CJC STAKEHOLDERS 1:1 MEETINGS WITH COORDINATOR  
Presented by Colleen Clark-Bernhardt, CJC Coordinator  
The CJC coordinator holds annual meetings with individual stakeholders to learn what  
they want from the CJC in the upcoming year. Council members report the benefits of the  
CJC including opportunities to collaborate, educate other council members, discuss  
data, and involve the community. Challenges include the disconnect between juvenile and  
adult data, the organization of voting vs. non-voting CJC members, and updating the  
dashboards.  
CJC members request that subsequent meetings discuss a number of topics (see  
attached presentation). These include items pertaining to pretrial justice, behavioral  
health, racial disparities, length of stay, and connection to services. Current research  
covers many of these topics (see attached presentation). The CJC Research and  
Innovation team will subsequently survey CJC members on their priorities, discuss the  
results with the CJC Chair, and then further develop a proposed workplan in September  
2022.  
Discussion ensues regarding scope of county jurisdictions, particularly with DOC and  
Probation and Parole holds. There is additional interest in resource needs based upon  
the JFA Institute report.
