This project by California Forward assists counties in implementing the 2011 Public Safety Realignment. The regional convenings have allowed for county-specific discussions and the identification of trends and common themes in the intersection of health care and criminal justice systems. The evaluations show progress, but challenges remain. Webinars, technical assistance, and follow-up trainings are available for continued support.
