TREATMENT COURT MONTH
MAY 2023 TREATMENT COURT MONTH CELEBRATION
As you may have heard, Governor Jay Inslee declared May 2023, Treatment Court Month. We are excited to act as a conduit of connection and belonging, helping build our treatment court community. Each week, we will feature program highlights, success stories, unique program attributes, and inspiring statistics from various treatment court programs across Washington on our Newsworthy page. We thank those who took time to supply stories, flyers, photos, videos, data sheets, and other items to share with this incredible community.
Interested in sharing a success story, photo, or video? The WSADCP Training Committee is working on a success story slideshow for the 2023 fall conference. Send inquires to Stephanie Miller at [email protected]
