InitialMental Health Screening
A simple screening instrument will be administered to: Every defendant completing a jail evaluation. Every defendant placed into Pre-Trial Supervision that has not
previously completed a screening
The Brief Jail Mental Health Screen (BJMHS)• An elementary instrument, deployable at the initial intake.• Designed for use by staff with little to no mental health
training.• Eight (8) Questions for use on male and female defendants.• Less than 3 minutes to administer and score.• Validated in a study of 10,330 inmates at 4 jails in NY and
MD.

The Next Step: Advanced Screening
Administered to defendants placed into SRP who: Have Mental Health ordered as a special condition of release. Have scored a need for further assessment on the simple Screening.
Administered at intake by a Probation Officer II with mental health training and training on the administration of the advance screening.
15 to 20 minute administration. A qualifying score on the instrument would indicate the need for a
mental health assessment.

CSB-Mental Health Assessments
All cases placed on SRP with a special condition for mental health treatment will be referred to the CSB, or to their pre-existing treatment provider.
andAll SRP cases where advanced screening indicates a need for a mental health assessment will be referred to the CSB.
Ideally, within 48 hours of release, an SRP referred defendant will have been screened, referred, and scheduled for an assessment or
ordered treatment.

Initial ScreeningPilot Data
July to present
– 59% reported a previous mental health diagnosis– 42% were County Residents, 30% were Virginia(non-county) residents– 22% were placed in the Supervised Release Program
Of 3000+ arrestees, 900 defendants were eligible for interview by Court Services staff and administered the BJMHS.
300 (33%) of the defendants screened were identified by the BJMHS to need further assessment.
![Page 27: Diversion First: Diversion-Oriented System of Care Stakeholders Update: Oct. 17, 2016](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/587e99111a28ab672b8b7347/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
