The Tribal Healing to Wellness Court Virtual Enhancement Training is a tribal-specific national training for tribal problem-solving courts. The Virtual Enhancement Training features Wellness Court best practices and innovative strategies.
The Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI) is pleased to offer four tracks in this year's curriculum:

The Training will be oriented around the Tribal Ten Key Components and the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP) National Drug Court Standards.

Training topics will cover the adult criminal, juvenile delinquency, family dependency, DWI/DUI, and veterans models.
