Juvenile Implementation and Enhancement Healing to Wellness Court Training

Juvenile Implementation and Enhancement Healing to Wellness Court Training

The 2024 Juvenile Healing to Wellness Court Implementation and Enhancement Training was held September 18-20, 2024, in Phoenix, Arizona with the theme “Reclaiming Indigenous Justice,” underscoring the critical influence of traditional Indigenous justice in shaping Juvenile Healing to Wellness Courts and Programs practices. This theme highlights the profound knowledge Tribes possess in safeguarding their communities and the inherent strengths of Indigenous justice systems.

The Juvenile Healing to Wellness Court Implementation and Enhancement Training focused on issues concerning Tribal Juvenile Healing to Wellness Courts and Programs practices. The training was held concurrently with an Adult Healing to Wellness Court Implementation and Enhancement Training.

This annual training is a unique opportunity to receive information on current treatment court best practices, learn innovative approaches to substance abuse and treatment, and engage with other Healing to Wellness Courts practitioners from across the country. The sessions focused upon tribal issues, including jurisdictional and legal issues unique to Indian country, the incorporation of custom and tradition into the phases, case management, treatment curriculums, tangential services, and the peer-to-peer sharing of successful Healing to Wellness Courts models in operation.
