Overview
The Forensic Clinical Specialist Program operates as a team within Mercy Mental Health. The Forensic Clinical Specialist Program receives referrals from the person’s treating team within Mercy Mental Health. Forensic clinical specialists undertake specialist assessments for people that may have involvement with the justice or legal systems, or may be deemed at risk of coming into contact with legal or justice systems.
A risk assessment is completed to assess a person’s risk of engaging in a range of behaviours, including violence and stalking, and includes strategies and techniques to manage or reduce the risk of the person engaging in those behaviours in the future.
