Monthly meetings with the Veterans Project consultants and NAICJA staff for the development of the Veterans Project Curriculum.

This 75-minute webinar, hosted by the Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI) and the National Drug Court Resource Center (NDCRC) was an opportunity for Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts (THWC) to learn how to use the data collected regarding THWC participants to answer questions and better understand how well a program is performing.

NDCRC co-directors Kristen DeVall and Christina Lanier served as guest presenters at the 10th annual Tribal Healing to Wellness Court Enhancement Training hosted by the Tribal Law and Policy Institute on September 30, 2020. The presentation provided a framework for increasing a program’s capacity to collect and utilize program data including what types of data should be collected, how to collect, and the best practices for sharing the data with the team and stakeholders.
