    The Judges and Psychiatrists Leadership Initiative (JPLI) convened the Council of State Governments Justice Center (CSGJC), American Psychiatric Association Foundation (APAF), and the Psychiatric Leadership Group for Criminal Justice together to develop "Judicial Work at the Interface of Mental Health & Criminal Justice," a training module for judges on addressing behavioral health issues when they arise in the courtroom. The training has been presented to more than 1,000 judges from 22 states and Washington, D.C.
