"Probation officers are not clinicians and this tool removes this type of decision making from the probation officer."
"As a result of their commitment to e-Connect, Livingston County Probation for the past year has had a perfect referral and treatment initiation rate."
Livingston County Probation is pioneering the use of the revolutionary e-Connect system developed by Columbia University for juvenile suicide prevention. This digital tool screens every new juvenile case for suicide risk, directing at-risk youths to immediate mental health support. The real-time assessments and risk-based scoring optimize resources, reducing unnecessary hospital stays. Since its implementation in 2018, the system has achieved remarkable success, with a 100% treatment initiation rate for referred youths, contrasting sharply with the previous 13% state average. This has garnered national attention and interagency collaboration improves treatment access.
