Forensic Mental Health Services (FMHS)

Forensic Mental Health Services (FMHS) provide specialized care for individuals with mental health issues who are involved in the criminal justice system. These services assess, treat, and support people who may have mental disorders affecting their behavior, particularly those who have committed or are at risk of offending. FMHS aims to ensure public safety while addressing the mental health needs of patients, often in secure or supervised settings. This multidisciplinary approach helps individuals recover and reduces the likelihood of reoffending, balancing mental health treatment with legal and safety considerations.
