BH-JI is a partnership between the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) and the Massachusetts Executive Office of the Trial Court (Trial Court). BH-JI helps people who are “justice-involved,” including:
• people leaving jail or prison within six months,
• people who have recently left jail or prison within a year,
• people on parole, and
• people on probation
to connect with behavioral health services and social supports in the community.
BH-JI began in 2019 in Middlesex and Worcester counties with Advocates, Inc and Open Sky Community Services and launched statewide on February 1, 2022.
