AMHC was the first mental health court established in Alaska and the fourth mental health court established in the United States.

  • The Honorable Stephanie Rhoades served as a District Court Judge in Anchorage, Alaska from 1992 to 2017. Judge Stephanie Rhoades founded the (ACRP), better known as the (AMHC). AMHC was the first mental health court established in Alaska and the fourth mental health court established in the United States. Legal scholars suggest in the Alaska Law Review that mental health courts are to be considered therapeutic jurisprudence and define crime that deserves therapeutic justice as “a manifestation of illness of the offender’s body or character.” They follow that crime that falls under this definition “should be addressed through treatment by professionals.” Rhoades saw how a jail sentence can be immensely detrimental to the quality of life of incarcerated individuals with mental illness. She noted that jail time often resulted in medication disruptions and placed these individuals at high risk for victimization. She also argued that extended stays in prison can increase suicidal tendencies in people with mental illness. Her vision was to decriminalize mental illness and reduce incarceration levels of those living with mental illness. Research shows that in 1998, 238,000 offenders serving time were living with mental illness. Judge Stephanie Rhoades founded AMHC armed with “a committee of court staff, attorneys, treatment providers, corrections personnel and other individuals." In order to alleviate the strain of the criminal justice system on people with mental illness, she incorporated (1) education or employment counseling; (2) benefit application assistance for the unemployable; (3) safe and supportive housing; (4) routine check ins for substance abuse; and (5) scheduled productive socially integrative activities.
