Justice Involved Veterans: How Veterans Treatment Courts Relate to the Military

Justice-involved veterans come to the court with unique issues relating to military service. This program will explore how veterans treatment courts are structured to deal with those issues, including mental health challenges veterans frequently deal with and how to make the best use of available resources for the benefit of the veteran and the community. The speakers will also discuss when participation in a veterans treatment court is appropriate and what do if there is no veterans treatment court available in the county where veterans’ case presides.
