Within Seminole Behavioral Healthcare's Outreach Services there are several different components. Each of these components reaches out to a separate population within the mental health system:

Forensics

The Forensic component of Outreach assists those with criminal justice involvement or are at risk of involvement to negotiate the criminal justice system. The team uses a multifaceted approach including in jail assessment, court advocacy, linkage, community referrals, post and pre-booking diversion programs.

State Hospital Liaison Services

A representative from Outreach works with the hospital staff, family and individual to provide continuity of care services for individuals admitted to the state psychiatric hospital system. The State Hospital Liaison monitors both individuals who are involved in the civil and criminal commitment process. The liaison works with the state facilities on discharge plans and coordinates follow-up care for Seminole county residents.

P.A.T.H.
(Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness)

The P.A.T.H. Outreach component was developed to reach out to the homeless population to specifically assist those who are homeless and dealing with substance abuse and mental health issues. The P.A.T.H. Care Managers assist individuals with linkage to housing, entitlements and treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues.

All members of the Outreach team assist with community education, in the field assessments and crisis intervention. The team works closely with the Seminole County Sheriffs Office, State Attorney, Probation and the office of the Public Defender to divert individuals from the criminal justice system into treatment. The team is also available 24 hours a day, seven days a week via phone to provide assistance and direction to law enforcement when they are dealing with a mental health situation in the community.
