Wayside Youth & Family Support Network will hold a mental health &
jail diversion expert panel in Watertown this week. This will be a free
community conversation.
Learn more about how the police, clinicians, and courts join together in an effort to help rehabilitate people who live with mental health challenges by helping to divert them toward the treatment and assistance that they need and keep them out of the criminal justice system.
Join us at the Watertown Public Library at 123 Main St. in Watertown.

Rebecca Wolfe, Jail Diversion Clinician, Watertown Police Department
Jason Collins, Probation Officer, Waltham District Court
