Wondering how to get started in developing a Healing to Wellness Court for your Tribe? This free webinar will explore the strategies of developing a vision and plan, as well as lessons learned. Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts bring together community-healing resources with the tribal justice process, using a team approach to achieve the physical and spiritual healing of the participant and the well-being of the community. This webinar will walk participants through the visioning and foundation planning process to begin the development and implementation of a Healing to Wellness Court.
