The Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI), and National American Indian Court Judges Association (NAICJA), will host a 75-minute webinar that focuses on the potential for creating a Veterans Tribal Healing to Wellness Court (THWC), or specialized Native veterans' docket or programming. This webinar will look at Veterans Treatment Court and Tribal Healing to Wellness Court components and offer strategies for THWCs to consider in establishing veteran-focused dockets or tracks to address the unique characteristics of Native veterans who are involved in the criminal justice system and suffering from PTSD, other mental health conditions, and/or alcohol or substance abuse. This combination of characteristics in a THWC could assist this population that would greatly benefit from a tailored and specialized court. Also hear about the development of the Yurok Veterans Wellness Court (YVWC) along with lessons learned and positive outcomes in the establishment of the YVWC.
Guest Presenters: Mica Brooks, Yurok Veterans Court Coordinator and Kristine Huskey, Clinical Professor of Law Director, Veterans’ Advocacy Law Clinic, James E. Rogers College of Law, University of Arizona
