Psychiatric Security Review Board

The Psychiatric Security Review Board (PSRB) is a legal body that oversees individuals found not guilty of a crime due to mental illness. Its primary role is to ensure that these individuals receive appropriate mental health treatment while balancing public safety. The board regularly reviews each case to determine if they still pose a risk to themselves or others, and if they are ready for conditional release or discharge. Decisions are made based on evaluations from mental health professionals and the circumstances of the individual's mental condition and behavior.
