The Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI) is pleased to host the 2021 Tribal Veterans Healing to Wellness Courts Virtual Symposium.
Tribal Veteran Wellness Courts are restorative justice dockets established to respond to the offenses and treatment needs of veterans who are diagnosed with substance abuse disorders. They are managed by a multidisciplinary team familiar with the unique experiences and issues of Native veterans. Tribal Veteran Wellness Courts can operate as stand-alone dockets, or as part of a more general Healing to Wellness Courts.
TLPI is calling for papers, including essays and articles ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 words, on the variety of topics touching on Tribal Veterans Wellness Courts. Topics may include but are not limited to:
-
Considerations for working with Native Veterans
-

Special considerations for female Native Veterans
-
Historical and combat trauma
-
Cultural competency

Military cultural competency
