Applications due: January 12, 2026
The GAINS Center is currently soliciting applications from communities interested in a Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) Mapping Workshop. SIM Mapping Workshops are designed to bring together a local, cross-system, multidisciplinary group of key partners from a particular jurisdiction (typically a county) to facilitate collaboration and to identify and discuss ways in which barriers between the criminal justice and behavioral systems can be reduced through the development of integrated local strategic action plans. Participants are expected to be drawn, in large part, from local criminal justice and behavioral health agencies and organizations.
Traditional Workshops
The GAINS Center is soliciting applications from communities that are interested in “traditional” SIM Mapping Workshops that focus broadly on identifying and responding to the needs of adults with mental health conditions and substance use disorders who are involved or at risk for involvement in the criminal justice system.
Award Details
The GAINS Center will provide the SIM Workshops free of charge to selected applicants between April and August 2026. There are no fees for registration, tuition, or materials associated with these workshops. The GAINS Center will cover all costs associated with pre- and post-workshop planning and coordination, travel and lodging, facilitation, data collection and analysis, and report development.
The GAINS Center plans to conduct all the SIM Mapping Workshops in person.
To apply for a SIM Mapping Workshop, please download the solicitation and application, and submit a completed application form by January 12, 2026.
