Mental Health Diversion Application Cover Sheet

Butte Superior Court · Criminal Forms

Last updated July 3, 2026

This form is used to apply for a mental health diversion program, which allows people with mental health conditions to get treatment instead of going through the regular criminal court process. Someone would need this form if they've been arrested or charged with a crime and want to ask the court to let them participate in mental health treatment as an alternative to prosecution or jail time.
