Veterans Treatment Court Planning Initiative Training

Offered by the National Drug Court Institute<https://justiceforvets.org/resources/training/implementation/>, Justice For Vets provides comprehensive implementation training for courts not yet operating, teams that may have had significant staff changes or teams that have never attended an implementation training before.
Justice For Vets staff and a cadre of treatment court practitioners work with planning teams to shape programs plans, develop policy and procedure manuals, and foster team unity.
Selected jurisdictions participate in a facilitated six-month planning process. Each jurisdiction will be required to complete pre-training worksheets, participate in pre-training webinars, attend a three-day training program, maintain routine correspondence with program staff, and submit a veterans treatment court implementation plan as well as a draft policy and procedure manual.
The three-day training will consist of sessions designed to familiarize participants with the building blocks of veterans treatment courts.
