Meetings and Convenings

Join the Police, Treatment, and Community Collaborative (PTACC) and colleagues from across the country on August 2–5 in Chicago for the 2022 Deflection and Pre-Arrest Diversion Training Summit. Deflection represents the first intercept with the justice system, making it a prime opportunity to redirect adults with substance use disorders and mental health issues from the justice system and connect them with community-based service providers. Learn how to enhance similar programs in your city.

The PTACC Training Summit aims to achieve three goals:

• Provide an orientation to the field of deflection through a combination of plenary sessions, peer learning opportunities, and workshop activities.
• Enable deflection teams to plan new programs or enhance existing work. Deflection teams will leave the conference with a structured work plan!
• Offer advanced deflection practitioners the opportunity to engage in immersive workgroups, focusing on key issues like evaluation and research, sustainability, diversity/equity, and collaboration with 988 initiatives.

Who Should Attend?

This summit is for both individuals and multidisciplinary deflection and pre-arrest diversion teams. Teams who want to develop or enhance a deflection program will work with the field’s leading subject matter experts to develop a structured work plan, curated to fit the needs of their communities.
