Attention: Judges, Coordinators, Treatment Providers, and
Others Working with Treatment Court Programs

Treatment courts around the nation have been developing unique programs and tracks that address the specific needs and interests of women involved in the criminal justice system. These programs acknowledge that women’s treatment needs are often different than those for men and as such, they should be provided with gender-responsive treatment to facilitate their recovery. Gender-responsivity includes addressing such issues as trauma, children and family involvement, utilizing screening tools that have been validated for women, and a host of other topics. While the numbers of female participants in treatment courts remains lower than that of their male counterparts, there is nevertheless a need to effectively support the women currently in these programs and create environments conducive to engaging more women.

The National Drug Court Resource Center, housed in the Justice Programs Office at American University, will conduct an interactive webinar session entitled Women in Treatment Courts on Wednesday, February 22, 2017 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern. This webinar will be presented by the Honorable William G. Schma, formerly of the Kalamazoo County Circuit Court, and Ms. Valerie Moore, an expert on treatment courts and a founding member of the Portland, Oregon drug treatment court program.
This webinar will cover:

  *   Background on the history and development of gender-specific courts
  *   Role of the judge in gender-specific courts
  *   Gender differences in criminal and psychological behavior
  *   Screening tools for women
  *   Strategies for working with women in treatment courts: sanctions and incentives, family involvement, trauma-informed approach, gender-responsive treatment, community involvement and aftercare
Date: Wednesday, February 22, 2017 from 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM Eastern

Presenters: Hon. William G. Schma, former Presiding Judge, Kalamazoo County Drug Treatment Court Program and Kalamazoo County Women’s Drug Treatment Court Program; Valerie Moore, former Executive Director of InAct, Portland, Oregon’s drug court treatment agency
