Mid Shore Behavioral Health, Inc.’s 11th Annual Sequential Intercept Mapping Model (SIM) Conference was held IN-PERSON on Monday, November 1st, at the Chesapeake Intergenerational Center in Cambridge, MD from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Sequential Intercept Mapping Model (SIM) details how individuals with mental and substance use disorders come into contact with and move through the criminal justice system. The SIM helps communities identify resources and gaps in services at each intercept and develop local strategic action plans. The SIM mapping process brings together leaders and different agencies and systems to work together to identify strategies to divert people with mental and substance use disorders away from the justice system into treatment.

Mid Shore Behavioral Health is authorized by the Board of Social Work Examiners in Maryland to sponsor social work continuing education learning activities and maintains full responsibility for this program. This training qualifies for three Category I continuing education units.
