Risk management is a priority, and NaphCare recognizes that a strong mental healthcare system is imperative. An inmate with mental health issues can pose a risk to themselves and other inmates, the staff, and can disrupt the facility with their behavior. We provide mental health services that are based on the identification and stabilization of inmates with mental health issues.
