Superior Court >Probate And Mental Health SMI Probation Violation Court The CMHC SMI-Probation Violation Court was established where seriously mentally ill defendants are subject to treatment orders and monitoring. The goal of these proceedings is to problem solve collaboratively with treatment providers and offer tools (Review hearings, Mental Health Court contracts, etc.) to increase the probability of success for the SMI defendant on probation. Whenever possible the court offers the potential for SMI Defendants to earn misdemeanors and expedite release from custody (when appropriate) directly to treatment as approved by Adult Probation Department and the Regional Behavioral Health Authority (RBHA).
