ACCURATE. RESPECTFUL. COURT-READY.
When a court requires a behavioral health evaluation, it can be stressful and confusing. Understanding what the evaluation involves, why it’s necessary, and how to comply with legal requirements is critical — for your peace of mind and legal process.
WHAT IS A COURT-MANDATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EVALUATION?
A Court-mandated behavioral health evaluation is a professional assessment requested by a judge to better understand an individual’s:
Mental health status
Risk to self or others
Need for treatment or support
Ability to make decisions regarding treatment
Under Arizona law, courts may require evaluations when there is concern that an individual may be a danger to themselves or others, persistently or acutely disabled, or gravely disabled — and either unwilling or unable to participate in voluntary evaluation or treatment.
These evaluations help the court determine whether treatment is necessary, the appropriate level of support, and recommendations for care.
