Mental health courts seem to have been developed to deal with people who have mental health issues and who have come to the attention of the legal system. There is a pdf file about them which will download to your hard drive if you click on

we have a wonderful program here in PA, I have been involved with the Mental Health Court System for the past 5 years, in our workshop/support group here in PA we accept folks from time to time if courts refer them to us
