NDCI's Tribal Healing to Wellness Court Planning Initiative<https://www.ndci.org/resources/training/treatment-court-design/tribal-healing-wellness-court-planning-initiative/>
Deadline Extended: Applications must be received by November 16, 2018.
Offered by the National Drug Court Institute<https://www.ndci.org/resources/training/treatment-court-design/tribal-healing-wellness-court-planning-initiative/>, the Tribal Healing to Wellness Court Planning Initiative (THWCPI) is a free training designed to integrate the drug court model with tribal traditions to develop a holistic approach to substance use disorders within the tribal justice system.
Implementation trainings are designed for courts not yet operating, teams that may have had significant staff changes or teams that have never attended an implementation training before.
Selected jurisdictions will participate in a facilitated 6-month planning process. Each jurisdiction will be required to complete pre-training worksheets, participate in pre-training webinars, attend a 3-day training program, maintain routine correspondence with program staff, and submit a tribal healing to wellness court implementation plan and draft policy and procedure manual. NDCI will notify jurisdictions of training dates and locations upon their acceptance. The 3-day onsite training program has been designed to educate participants with the building blocks of tribal healing to wellness courts and develop a solid implementation plan.
