Commission Meetings
JCMH Commissioners meet at least three times a year, providing information to promote best practices and improve the function of the judiciary for those with mental health, substance use, and/or IDD needs. The Commissioners often attend the annual Summit and participate in additional events as needed, such as focus groups, listening sessions, trainings, and presentations.
