2010 | Mental Health and Its Impact on the Justice System

Title: Mental Health and its Impact on the Justice System
Date: October 12, 2010
Co-Chairs: Heather MacNaughton, Joanne Spriet
Location: Vancouver, BC

Participants in the justice system who present with mental health and cognitive challenges are a reality of today’s Civil and Criminal Courts and Tribunals.

Cuts in available legal aid and other social services, have resulted in many such participants appearing without the assistance of legal counsel or other advocates. This seminar, held in Vancouver on October 12, 2010, brought together a group of experts and participants from across the justice system to discuss how to identify those with mental health and cognitive challenges, how those challenges might manifest themselves, and best practices or new ways of dealing with this group of participants. We hope these materials will serve as a starting point for an ongoing discussion.
