2025 Hutchinson County Sequential Intercept Mapping Workshop
This report was created through a series of online and in-person workshops hosted by the Texas Judicial Commission on Mental Health to address the needs of youth with behavioral health challenges who become involved with the juvenile justice system. It draws on the Sequential Intercept Model to support communities in identifying strategies to divert youth from the justice system and into treatment.
2025 Hutchinson Country SIM Report
2025 PBHA Justice Forum Synopsis
PBHA Justice Forum convened 89 cross-sector stakeholders on June 9, 2026 from across the Texas Panhandle to learn more about the resources, lived experiences and challenges around reentry issues for the justice-involved individuals with MI/SUD issues. Panhandle Community Services and PBHA Reentry Workgroup members coordinated a Reentry Simulation & Debrief as part of the day’s activities. The simulation debrief highlighted participant insights around systems being resource-rich but navigation-poor; strain on families and finances, institutional partners from the Justice sector that may serve as both a barrier and lifeline; mental health de-prioritization due to household/individual survival tasks; hidden barriers such as literacy, language, and assumptions of “what one should know” while navigating/balancing stigma, trust, and vulnerability.
Next steps include future convening and coordination to address reentry issues to set people up for success with a second chance after justice involvement at any of the intercepts on the Sequential Intercept Map (SIM).
