LEAD West Plains

The LEAD Approach

LEAD works to enhance public safety and equity by diverting people with unmet behavioral health needs and income instability away from incarceration and prosecution, and into non-punitive, collaborative, community-based systems of response and care.

LEAD is expressly designed to provide a new system of care for people whose complex, ongoing, unmet behavioral health needs result in disruptive or unlawful behavior. They may lack reliable shelter, income, food, health care, and positive social networks, and may find existing systems inaccessible, impossibly complicated, or insufficiently responsive.

If you are unsure if an individual is LEAD eligible we still encourage you to submit this form and a LEAD outreach specialist will follow up with you.

LEAD West Plains is funded through grants and donations received by the West Plains Safety Alliance. The West Plains Safety Alliance is a tax-exempt public charity under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3). EIN: 33-1828805
