Great Resource

I’m starting to get intrigued by my college mental health case – and will likely post a sample case in the next few days to give those who are new to the topic an idea of what a case should look like. Also, if you have questions about what your first affirmative constructive speech should look like you can view my lecture on the subject or see samples from past seasons.

I came across this list of really good resources from the Consensus Project. A few of their really good articles:

  1. Mental Health Courts: A Guide to Research-Informed Policy and Practice
  2. The Advocacy Handbook: A Guide to Implementing Recommendations of the Criminal Justice/Mental Health Consensus Project
  3. The Cost-Effectiveness of Criminal Justice Diversion Programs for People With Serious Mental Illness Co-Occurring With Substance Abuse

You can view the entire list here. Good luck with case ideas! And of course, remember, that you will also be negative, so start thinking of negative strategies against these cases even if they are not your cup of tea.
