Competency Restoration Programs

Competency Restoration Programs are designed to help individuals, often involved in the legal system, regain the mental capacity needed to understand and participate in their court proceedings. When someone is deemed incompetent to stand trial due to mental health issues, these programs provide treatment, therapy, and education tailored to their needs. The goal is to restore their ability to comprehend the legal process, make informed decisions, and assist in their defense, ensuring fair access to justice while addressing their mental health needs.
