About the Role

CASES is a New York City agency focused on the intersection of behavioral health and the criminal justice system. Our mission is to enhance public safety through innovative services that reduce crime and incarceration, improve behavioral health, promote recovery and rehabilitation, and create opportunities for community success. The Court Services department provides programming at all stages of the criminal legal process, operating alternative to detention (ATD) and alternative to incarceration (ATI) community-based programs facilitated by the NYS Office of Court Administration (OCA). We interface with multiple stakeholders to support these program options for thousands of defendants across multiple boroughs. The Arraignment team screens approximately 10,000 defendants annually for ATD and ATI programs, Supervised Release, and newSTART. The ATI intake assessment team screens 500 individuals annually to divert them into three CASES community-based programs: Reframing Opportunity Alternatives and Resilience (ROAR), Nathaniel Community Success (NCS), and Nathaniel Assertive Community Treatment (NACT). All Court Services teams are committed to the CASES mission of facilitating release and positive court outcomes.

• Provide culturally competent and anti-racist services in court, in accordance with CASES’ policies and to address the needs of diverse participants.
• Participate in supervision, case review, staff meetings, and in-service trainings to develop clinical, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed, and legal system competence.
• Work a regular schedule and adhere to schedule changes to ensure Supervised Release consistently maintains coverage for all court shifts.
